Established in 1892, the club has a rich history and is dedicated to providing an enjoyable cricket experience for players of all levels. SBCC's home ground is the Dulwich Sports Ground, situated at Turney Road, Dulwich, London, SE21 7JH.

The ground was previously known as South Bank University Sports Ground (Polytechnic) and is located at 106-108 Turney Road, London, SE21 7JJ.
While SBCC has participated in league cricket in the past, the club now focuses on friendly fixtures against well-known local opposition. They have both Saturday and Sunday teams that play matches every weekend during the season. SBCC also takes part in mid-week London T20 cricket events, and they are affiliated with local and central London T20 cricket teams.
In addition to regular fixtures, SBCC players also participate in mid-week matches against schools as part of The Forty Club, a renowned wandering cricket club that promotes and encourages the game to youth players.
To enhance their skills, SBCC conducts outdoor practise net sessions at their cricket ground in Dulwich on every Wednesday evening, weather permitting. They also aim to organise indoor winter cricket net sessions at Dulwich Prep School, although this may be affected by Covid-19 restrictions.
Please note that SBCC is not currently accepting new players. However, they have strong connexions within the London cricket community and can assist individuals in joining a league or mid-week T20 cricket club.
