Barnes Hockey Club was founded in 1889 but was forced to close during World War I.[4] In 1919, the club was reformed as a part of Barnes Sports Club.[4]

In 2005, Barnes Hockey Club merged with the women's section of Hounslow Hockey Club. Hounslow then went out of existence because the men's section joined Richmond Hockey Club.[5] [6]

Following the merger the team was known as the Barnes Hounslow and Ealing Hockey Club and in 2019, it changed its name to Hounslow and Barnes Hockey Club and facilities at Duke's Meadow underwent significant improvement.[7]
