Tennyson is a suburb of Brisbane, Australia. It is 7 km south of the CBD on the Brisbane River.
The area was originally named Softstone by James Strong, one of the original settlers, but by 1897 the name was changed to Tennyson. Tennyson is named after the British poet Alfred Tennyson.[2]
The Queensland Tennis Centre[3] is located in Tennyson. It is built on the site of the demolished Tennyson Power Station.
The Tennyson Railway Station provides access to very limited Citytrain services.
