The David Lloyd at Raynes Park introduced Padel in 2022 as part of a major investment in luxury experiences from Spa retreats to Spa gardens, and new boutique fitness studios. The Tennis renovations were major, creating two new outdoor courts with the ability to have a bubble in winter and resurfacing all of the existing indoor courts.
As of November 2022 these 3 Padel courts are the closest to centre court at the All England Club, narrowly pipping Roehampton Club as the geographically easiest place for the professional padel players of the future to warm up before stepping out onto centre court to play padel. A pipedream? There will be Padel at Wimbledon one day no doubt.
