Hey there! If you’re looking to dive into the world of padel in London, Stratford Padel Club (SPC) is the place to be. With top-notch facilities and a welcoming community, it’s perfect for both newbies and seasoned players.
About Stratford Padel Club
Established in December 2018 by Javier Fernandez Aguirre and his close-knit group of family and friends, Stratford Padel Club began its journey with just three courts and a modest group of 30 players. Demonstrating resilience and vision, the club expanded during the lockdown by adding two more courts. By February 2024, four additional courts were introduced, bringing the total to nine indoor courts. This expansion was in response to the burgeoning demand from over 24,000 registered players, a number that continues to grow.
From its inception, SPC has embraced each player as a family member, fostering a unique sense of community. This inclusive atmosphere has transformed the club into a second home for many. Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned professional, arriving with family, friends, or colleagues, SPC offers opportunities to share a court, enjoy a drink, savor tapas, and build lasting connections. Their motto encapsulates this spirit: “Come for the game, stay for the people!”
