Tower Hamlets Badminton Association (THBA) was created in 2010 to encouraging more players to attend Badminton activities in the East End. In partnership with Langdon Park School Sports Partnership and Badminton England a steering group was created to help develop talented young players and expand all local clubs in Tower Hamlets. From primary school coaching to setting up of District junior squads that regularly attend Junior tournament. Tower Hamlets Badminton has grown tremendously in the last few years.
