The Rugby Football Union (RFU) is to build a new centre for athletic development in the grounds of Pennyhill Park Hotel as part of the team's preparations for the 2015 Rugby World Cup. The centre will provide an indoor 3G training space with associated gym, a changing room and training facility storage plus an external running track.

The RFU have enjoyed a ten year relationship with Pennyhill Park, having first made use of the hotel facilities in the build up to the triumphant Rugby World Cup 2003. The England team returned to Pennyhill in August 2008.

Pennyhill Park Hotel is a luxury 123 bedroom hotel and spa built in the 19th century and set in 120 acres of Surrey parkland between Ascot, Sunningdale and Wentworth. It is 40 minutes from Twickenham and 45 minutes from the centre of London.
