Hampton court is more famous for Real Tennis than it is for Padel, but the court at Pavillion Club just a mile away from the Palace is a great spot for a game.
Whilst the Royal tennis court at Hampton Court Palace has been in situ since 1625, and originally put there by cardinal Wolsely in 1526, Padel has been up and running at the Pavilion Club since October 2018 and the club has been progressive trying to get people hooked on to padel as a great form of exercise with free padel for club members from October 2019 to March 2020, and then integrating it into the overall membership.
There’s a huge range of other activities here from the pool, Tennis and fitness suites and the padel court is in a friendly spot to be discovered by all and surrounded by 6 Clay Tennis courts, with a vibrant and highly social offering for all ages.
By the way, we love the quote that the Royal Tennis court uses, which came in one of the first English guides to tennis in 1553
“this game has been created for a good purpose, namely, to keep our bodies healthy, to make our young men stronger and more robust, chasing idleness, virtue’s mortal enemy, far from them and thus making them of a stronger and more excellent nature”
Nice hey, lots of resonance to Padel approaching 500 years later.
