Bedfont Town Football Club was a semi-professional football club based in Bedfont, Greater London, England.

History

The club was established in 1965 as Bedfont Green, playing as a

Southern League Division One South & West
for the 2009–10 season.

The club changed their name to Bedfont Town in 2010 and played their home games at The Orchard, the former home ground of

Southern League Division One Central league, with the reserve team resigning from the Capital Reserves League.[3]

A phoenix club emerged immediately, led by the club's former chairman, and joined the Surrey County Intermediate League (Western), but withdrew at the end of the 2013-14 season.[4]

Ground

The club initially played at Bedfont Recreation Ground (now home to Bedfont Sports) before moving to Ashford Recreation Ground on Clockhouse Lane, Ashford, where they remained until the 2000s. They then played at Avenue Park in Greenford (previously home to Viking Greenford), and shared with Yeading and Windsor & Eton before returning to Bedfont in 2010 to play at The Orchard, which they shared with Feltham. The phoenix club, founded in 2012, played at Clockhouse Lane before resigning from their league.[2]
