INTRODUCTION

The London Basketball Network (LBN) is here to make basketball accessible for every player, coach, and community across the capital. From grassroots dreams to professional reality, we provide the programs, opportunities, and support to help people thrive in the game.

We believe basketball is more than a sport — it’s a force for education, inspiration, and unity. Our mission is to harness that power to grow the game and build a lasting culture of success for London.

INSPIRING THE NEXT GENERATION

OUR PROGRAMS UNITE COMMUNITIES

WHO WE ARE

We are the central hub of London’s basketball family — bringing together leagues, academies, clubs, events, and elite teams into one connected pathway.

Every part of the network is run independently, but together we create a clear route from grassroots to greatness. Whether you’re a player chasing a dream, a parent looking for a safe start, a coach building your career, or a fan supporting your community, LBN exists to help you find your place and grow through basketball.
