Book a padel court in London
Last updated :
London picked up padel late and then went all-in. Inner-London now has roughly sixty venues across all platforms combined (Playskan lists 66+ clubs), and demand has run well ahead of the courts being built. Rocks Lane Chiswick claims to be the UK's largest padel centre with 12 courts, and new premium sites keep opening in regeneration areas like Battersea Power Station and Canary Wharf.
Finding a court in London isn't the problem anymore. Booking it at the right moment is. On prime-time slots (6–10pm weekdays, weekend mornings), courts are gone within seconds of the Playtomic window opening. Padel Snipe auto-detects each London club's booking window and fires the booking request in under 300ms when it opens.
Why booking a padel court in London is hard
London has three specific challenges that make manual booking tough. First, platform fragmentation: Playtomic covers roughly a third of the city's padel venues, Padel Mates covers others (including Padium Canary Wharf), a few clubs run their own systems. If you play at two clubs on two different platforms, you juggle two apps and two booking windows.
Second, demand. English padel took off in 2023-2024 on the back of heavy media exposure, and player numbers grew much faster than court supply. On prime-time slots at central venues (Padel Social Club Earl's Court, Rocket Padel Battersea), a 2-5 second window is enough to fill the courts. A manual user loses the race before the Playtomic page even refreshes. A tool firing the request in milliseconds doesn't.
The London padel clubs to know
Below are the main Playtomic-connected venues in London, based on what we could publicly verify. For each one, Padel Snipe auto-detects the Playtomic window and attempts the booking at opening.
Rocks Lane Chiswick
On Chiswick Common, west London. 12 padel courts (8 outdoor + 4 covered), the largest padel centre in the UK. Clubhouse and café on site. Publicly listed pricing: £57-70 per court hour. Bookings via Playtomic. Saturday and Sunday mornings and weekday evenings get packed, which is exactly where Padel Snipe earns its keep.
Padel Social Club Earl's Court
Empress Space, Earl's Court. Nearest tube: West Brompton. 5 indoor courts, reception, pro shop, two-storey bar and lounge. Premium clubhouse feel, often described as "the Soho House of padel". Racket rental available (£5 per racket). Bookings via Playtomic.
Rocket Padel Battersea
Circus Road West, Nine Elms, Battersea, London SW11 8AL, inside the Battersea Power Station redevelopment. Recent opening with modern facilities: clubhouse, changing rooms, dedicated warm-up zone, pro shop, bar, bistro. Publicly listed pricing: membership from £145/month, or £60 per 60-minute court. Bookings via Playtomic.
S3 Padel Wembley
S3 (Social Sports Society) site in Wembley. Confirmed on Playtomic via their dedicated page (playtomic.com/clubs/social-sports-wembley). Useful as an outer north-west fallback, or as a primary club for players in that sector.
S3 Padel Brent Cross
Another S3 site in Brent Cross. Also confirmed on Playtomic (playtomic.com/clubs/social-sports-brent-cross). Wembley + Brent Cross together form a useful backup pair for a north London player regularly targeting evening slots.
Other venues exist in London, notably Padium Canary Wharf (7 indoor + 2 outdoor courts at 10 Bank Street, E14 4DE), but Padium books through Padel Mates and therefore can't be operated through Padel Snipe. Other clubs like Padel Box Bermondsey or Padel Social Club The O2 are cited in specialist press; worth checking case by case on the Playtomic side using the built-in search. If your London club isn't listed here, either we couldn't publicly verify its details or it isn't on Playtomic. Padel Snipe works with every Playtomic club, including those not listed. For UK-wide context, the Lawn Tennis Association officially governs the sport in Britain.
Playtomic booking windows in London
Each London club sets its own rule (D-7, D-5, club-specific). To avoid inventing numbers, here's the honest answer: Padel Snipe detects the window Playtomic has configured for each club, with no manual input needed.
| Club | Typical window |
|---|---|
| Rocks Lane Chiswick | Variable (Padel Snipe auto-detects) |
| Padel Social Club Earl’s Court | Variable (Padel Snipe auto-detects) |
| Rocket Padel Battersea | Variable (Padel Snipe auto-detects) |
| S3 Padel Wembley | Variable (Padel Snipe auto-detects) |
| S3 Padel Brent Cross | Variable (Padel Snipe auto-detects) |
How much does a padel game cost in London
London is now one of Europe's more expensive padel markets. Publicly observed ranges across the clubs covered here:
Overall range: £50-70 per court hour (roughly £12-18 per player for four players on 60 minutes), based on publicly available data from major London clubs.
Off-peak (weekdays during the day): closer to the low end, with some sites applying discounts on quieter slots.
Prime time (weekdays 6–10pm, weekend mornings): £60-70+ per hour. Rocket Padel Battersea starts at £60/court; Rocks Lane Chiswick runs up to £70.
Memberships: several clubs offer member schemes (Rocket Padel from £145/month). Terms vary, so check with the venue.
These ranges are indicative and never replace the price displayed by the club at booking time. Padel Snipe doesn't change prices: the bot books at the exact rate shown on Playtomic. For UK padel coverage, The Padel Mag regularly covers openings and market trends.
What Padel Snipe concretely brings to London
Three measurable things:
1. Speed. The booking request fires in under 300ms after the window opens. On slots that disappear in 2–5 seconds (Rocket Padel Battersea on a Tuesday evening, Rocks Lane Chiswick on Saturday morning), that's the difference between getting the court and waiting another week.
2. Multi-club with priorities. Set Padel Social Club Earl's Court as 1st choice, Rocket Padel Battersea as 2nd, Rocks Lane Chiswick as 3rd. If the first slot is already taken, Padel Snipe moves instantly to the next one in your priority order.
3. Nothing to manage daily. Schedule recurring slots (e.g. Tuesday and Thursday 7pm, priority Earl's Court then Battersea) and forget about it. Telegram or email notification as soon as the booking is confirmed.
The Pro plan at €14/month covers up to 5 simultaneous slots with 3 clubs per slot, which suits a regular London player rotating between two or three clubs.

Frequently asked questions — London
Are all London clubs on Playtomic?
No. Playtomic covers about one-third of London's padel venues (including Rocks Lane Chiswick, Padel Social Club Earl's Court, Rocket Padel Battersea, S3 Padel Wembley and Brent Cross). Padium Canary Wharf uses Padel Mates and isn't compatible with Padel Snipe. The built-in search only surfaces clubs actually connected to Playtomic.
What are the Playtomic booking windows in London?
Each London club sets its own rule (D-7, D-5, club-specific). Padel Snipe automatically detects the window for each club you add, so there's nothing to set manually.
Do London slots disappear as fast as Paris slots?
Faster in some places. Padel exploded in London from 2023-2024, with demand far exceeding current Playtomic supply. On Rocks Lane Chiswick (12 courts, the UK's largest site) and Rocket Padel Battersea, prime-time slots are gone within seconds.
Is London padel really £60+ per hour?
Yes at indoor prime time. Rocks Lane Chiswick lists £57-70/hour, Rocket Padel Battersea starts at £60/hour. Padel Snipe never changes the price: the bot books at the exact rate Playtomic displays.
Does Padel Snipe also work for outer-London padel (Wembley, Brent Cross)?
Yes. S3 Padel Wembley and S3 Padel Brent Cross are both on Playtomic. The Pro plan allows 3 clubs per slot, so set a central club as 1st choice and an outer-London fallback if you accept the travel.
Is using a bot allowed by Playtomic?
Padel Snipe behaves like a human user: authentication on your own account, standard booking request, no volume abuse. We don't spam the Playtomic API.
