A few pointers
to get you ready

head provides
power.

Interested? Padel courts are now
springing up across the UK. And in
the beating heart of London's financial
district, Canary Wharf, you'll find
the capital's new number one padel
destination, Padium. Home to seven
indoor courts and two outdoor courts,
the venue has a stop-you-in-your-tracks
quality. And that cool vibe continues when you
step into the 30,000 sq ft luxurious club.
Key shots include
the slow, soft
bouncing La
Chiquita and the
slow smash La
Bandeja, which
slices across the
ball to reduce
the bounce.
Membership £595 per year.
This entitles you to
✚ Early booking access, 14 days in
advance (instead of seven days)
✚ 25% off the cost of off-peak hours
✚ A welcome gift box.
Get in contact with Padium for
court bookings, private lessons or
general enquiries.
When you've finished chasing the ball,
make use of the high-end shower and locker
room, before chilling out in the eye-catching
Ace Bar while you replenish your energy levels
with a nutritious protein shake. If you're short
on time, pre-order for a quick grab-and-go.
Enjoy a panoramic view of the courts from
the sofa-filled mezzanine area as you sip a
post-match pint or smoothie. Then pop into
the pro shop for the latest padel equipment.
A team member will guide you through the
different models and let you try a racket before
buying. You can also rent padel rackets there.
JOIN THE CLUB
Padium holds regular social and club nights
where you can meet fellow padel enthusiasts
and enjoy some friendly competition to take
your game to the next level. These sessions are
bookable through Playtomic.io.
Want to invite colleagues to join you?
OPEN TO ALL
Despite its premium feel, Padium is far from being a
snooty VIP exclusive enclave. Like padel itself,
all comers are welcome, from all levels and all walks
of life. Investment bankers compete with students,
all-women groups play mix-in clinics and advanced
players sharpen their game by facing off against
head coach - and former UK champ - Jorge Martinez.
For truly competitive players, the centre court is
equipped with an AI camera that analyses your game
and gives you detailed statistics.
Book an action-packed day that includes coaching,
tournaments and challenges, plus food and drinks to
keep you fuelled up. A bespoke package can be created
based on your requirements. Game, set and match!
