Padel, invented in Mexico in the late 1960s, blends tennis scoring with squash-like ricochet shots. Mostly played in doubles, the game is highly strategic, not just about strength. Now considered one of the fastest-growing sports globally, padel boasts a fan base of 30 million players across 100+ countries, with celebrities like David Beckham and Elle Macpherson among its supporters. And guess what?

In the beating heart of London’s renowned financial district Canary Wharf, lives London’s No.1 premium padel destination, Padium.

Surrounded by financial institutions such as Citibank, Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan, Padium, just 200 yards up Bank Street to the left of the water, stands as testament to the times we live in. In contrast to the skyscrapers beside it, the white dome of Padium – which plays home to seven indoor courts, as well as two outdoor courts at its front entrance – is every bit the embodiment of the wellness-lifestyle-padel hub for the modern-day Londoner.
