Playtime Padel Kingston

Playtime Padel Kingston has a single court at the YMCA Hawker Centre on Lower Ham Road, beside the Thames towpath in the north of Kingston upon Thames. It is run by Playtime Padel, which operates a handful of small sites across London under one booking line, and runs regular sessions and arranged games here. There is one outdoor court, served by a free car park, a toilet and a changing room. Rental racquets and balls are included with bookings, and reviewers say the equipment is in good condition. Opinion on the court itself is divided: some see it as a good, much cheaper alternative to Barn Elms for practice and social games, while others describe an uneven, slippery surface with an unpredictable bounce and a net that sat too low. It is fair to treat it as a recreational court rather than a competition-standard one. Coaching is offered, and one reviewer praised both the coaching and the responsive customer service. Google lists hours of 07:00 to 21:00 Monday to Thursday, 07:00 to 20:00 on Friday and 08:00 to 18:00 at weekends. The venue holds a 4.6 rating from 13 Google reviews. Booking is online, with enquiries on +44 7917 564490; bringing a few spare balls saves time chasing them.
