London's padel scene has matured quickly. What started as a handful of clubs a few years ago has grown into a genuine network across the city, though the distribution remains uneven — areas like Wandsworth and Canary Wharf have multiple options within a short drive, while large parts of North and East London are still underserved.
This ranking is based on player reviews and ratings submitted through PadelFinders. We weight court quality, facilities, and overall experience rather than just averaging scores. Clubs with fewer than a handful of reviews may not appear — the rankings improve as more players contribute.
What follows is not a sponsored list. No club has paid to be featured here. If your local club is missing or ranked lower than you'd expect, the best thing you can do is leave an honest review.
