[edit] General information
The Suede refer to their manor as "Fortress Barnes Elms", the Tecumsehs refer to theirs as "that bit of grass which is a bit soggy and bug ridden". You're more likely to find footballers in the outfield than angels and the duckpond in right field foul territory means that the Tecumsehs are the only team we know where a fishing net is standard issue kit. That said, it's been home to the Tecumsehs for generations.
It's not as difficult to get to as you'd think and the journey home's only a long way if you've done something silly (like live in South London).
