The Hive London

The Hive London is the sports and events complex on Camrose Avenue in Edgware, home of Barnet FC, which also includes a gym, function suites, a bar and a Starbucks. Padel is one part of a much larger venue, and court hire is handled by The Hive alongside its other sports facilities. Playtomic lists three outdoor courts, bookable via Playtomic. Because Google groups the courts with the stadium complex, there is no padel-specific rating, and most of the venue's reviews concern football, events and the gym. The one detailed padel review is critical: the entrance gate was locked on arrival, the net was not properly tensioned, the payment and exit gates were unreliable, and the player reported small electric shocks from the metal fencing on a previous visit. Visitors to the wider site mention parking that is time-limited and can lead to fines, so check the rules before leaving the car. Playtomic shows the courts open from 07:00 to 23:00 every day. The wider complex has a bar, cafe and gym, which makes it easy to combine a game with other plans, and the main switchboard is +44 20 8381 3800. For players in Edgware, Canons Park and Burnt Oak it is a convenient outdoor option, but expect a facility run as part of a stadium rather than a dedicated padel club.
