David Lloyd Chigwell is one of a few David Lloyd clubs with Padel courts. As of October 2022, we think there are courts in 5 David Lloyd clubs (Raynes Park, Bicester, Bushey and of course the flagship Chelsea Harbour Club).

Not to be outdone in the Essex Clubs that can list GB padel players, Frankie Langan plays Padel here. Frankie was part of the GB squad in action in the World Team Championships, which you can see here if you didn’t catch any of it
