Amid a wide-ranging push to slash its costs, the Bank of England is looking to restart the sale of a London sports club that helps host the annual Wimbledon tennis tournament.

The UK central bank has hired property agent Knight Frank to help with a freehold sale, according to publicly available procurement notices. A BOE spokesperson told Bloomberg this related to the Roehampton site it owns, which contains a sports center and grounds that are currently leased to the All England Lawn Tennis Club.
