Since the 1880s, London has hosted a grass court tournament on the eve of Wimbledon, with many of the globe's greatest racquet handlers making tracks for the capital to test themselves.

Though lacking much of Wimbledon's lustre, and a sizable portion of the purse, to work one's way through the bracket to become the queen of the Queen's court is no mean feat.

Yet, since 1973, Queen's Club has not hosted a women's tournament, and thus, there has not been a women's champion crowned in the past 50 years

So, despite this half-century hiatus, which women's tennis players toasted championships at Queen's in decades gone by?

From an array of British pioneers to a string of 1970s legends, here is the full list of women's tennis players who won the Queen's Club Championship.
