London’s padel scene continues to thrive in 2025, offering players of all levels a wide range of courts and clubs across the capital.
Why Padel Is Flourishing in London
Padel’s rise in London is driven by its accessibility and social appeal. The sport blends elements of tennis and squash, making it easy to learn and addictive to play. Most venues offer flexible booking options, allowing newcomers to jump in without long-term commitments.
“Padel is the perfect mix of fun, fitness, and community,” said Benjamin Reynolds, a local coach and contributor to Padel London Weekly.
With over 45 courts now available and more opening each season, players can find options in nearly every borough. Prices typically range from £20 to £45 per hour, depending on location and amenities.
