| In 2008 there were 4 venues in use for the NELCL, they are as follows...
London Fields
The heart of Bohemian Hackney. A thriving, vibrant park in the summer where runs are scored to the sounds of barbeque's and beats.

Millfields
Just off Lea Bridge road, this venue is one of Hackney's much improved pitches.

Springfield Park
In leafy Stamford Hill, this pitch was once a minefield, but is now reasonably flat and has a nearby cafe. Not quite POTP, but not bad

Albert Rec
When Keats said: "Until they think warm days will never cease/For Summer has o’er-brimm’d their clammy cells." he could have been talking about Albert Rec, in a way.
It is, quite simply, 6.4 Hectares of sporting nirvana. Among its verdant banks and plush undulations one can see bowling, football, tennis, basketball and - above all - cricket. This colisseum of sporting dreams boasts luxury cafe facilities for wives and girlfriends, purpose-built pavillion and dedicated groundsman for cricketers, and late closing hours for tramps. Not ten minutes' walk from Wood Green tube, nor five minutes from Bounds Green, it is as accessible as the day is long. We at the Village hope this new addition to the NELCL will become as firm a favourite as Millfields Park, Springfield Park, or the other one.
