THE COMMUNITY:

Padel Social Club

Redefining the club model for a new era, Padel Social Club blends good energy, smart branding and inclusive play to create a scene that feels more Ibiza beach bar than old-school sports club. With an easy-to-use booking app, regular events, coaching sessions and laidback matches designed to welcome everyone, Padel Social Club is the name to know. Its stylish urban courts, upbeat playlists and brand collabs only add to the appeal, while après-match cocktails and sunset rallies are quickly becoming a fixture on the social calendar. Clubs are based in Earl’s Court and the 02, with a Wandsworth site set to open later this year.

THE EURO NAME TO KNOW:

Ascaro

Hailing from Stockholm, Ascaro is redefining the way we dress for padel. Best known for its design-led flagship court – an architecturally designed space in the heart of the Swedish capital – the brand has since expanded into apparel. Less about loud logos and more about elevated essentials, the collection features buttery-soft pleated skirts, matte-finish compression shorts and subtly structured tank tops. Every piece is designed with movement in mind, but with a tailored, elevated edge that makes transitioning from court to city seamless. The cuts are clean, the fabrics high-grade, and the branding refreshingly understated – perfect for those who want to play hard without compromising on style.

THE CONCEPT:

Padel Shift

Padel Shift is the Cotswolds-born concept turning padel into a lifestyle. With a focus on design-led spaces, high-calibre coaching and a community-first approach, it’s a world away from the echoey warehouse courts popping up around London. Its first site sits within The Club by Bamford, with a second at Elkstone Studios – think delis, boutiques and rolling views. But it’s not just about location. Padel Shift is cultivating a full-blown culture: pay-and-play access, inclusive WhatsApp groups to find games on the fly, and slick collabs with premium fashion brands. Clubs in West London and Oxfordshire are also on the horizon.

THE LUXE OPTION:

Estelle Manor

Estelle Manor has quickly become the destination for country luxury with an edge – a stately home turned members’ club where every detail is curated to perfection. And now, it’s giving classic country club sports an upgrade with two slick padel courts tucked into the estate’s west side. Reserved for members and hotel guests, the courts host regular tournaments, a lively padel box league and offers year-round coaching for all levels. Whether you’re squeezing in a rally before lunch or signing up for a social match, this is padel at its most polished. Pro tip: courts book up fast, so reserve your slot when booking your stay.

THE CITY DESTINATION:

Padium

If padel had a flagship, this would be it. Set in the heart of Canary Wharf, Padium is the capital’s most design-led padel destination. Created by award-winning studio Ackroyd Lowrie, the space feels more private members' club than public sports facility, with atmospheric lighting, sharp branding, and a curated calendar of events, from DJ sets to pro-led tournaments. The covered courts mean play happens rain or shine, and the pay-and-play model makes it refreshingly accessible. Add in expert coaching, social match-ups and regular brand collabs, and it’s no surprise Padium is fast becoming the padel hub for London’s in-the-know crowd.

THE BRAND:

Cuera

Danish brand Cuera was born out of a love for minimal design and high performance. Its edit is clean, functional and elevated – think high-neck sports bras, asymmetric skorts, and a perfect palette of neutrals and stonewashed shades. Pieces are made from high-quality recycled fabrics with subtle technical details – think compression, breathability and stretch – designed to move with you whether you’re mid-match or grabbing a post-game coffee. Cuera’s understated style has already caught the attention of in-the-know players – and with new drops arriving throughout the summer, expect to see their signature cross-back tanks and split-hem shorts all over your local club.

THE AFFORDABLE RANGE:

Oysho

Oysho has long excelled at bridging the gap between fashion and function – and its padel collection proves why it’s still ahead of the curve. The new drop blends sculptural silhouettes with technical fabrics in a palette of soft neutrals, slates and blacks that look just as good post-match as they do mid-rally. Expect ergonomic cuts, breathable mesh panels, and flattering fits across tanks, leggings, dresses and skirts – all with performance in mind. Plus, Oysho’s exclusive partnership with Bullpadel means you’ll also find sleek co-branded rackets and accessories, while its sponsorship of major tournaments across Europe (including the BNL Major in Italy) confirms its commitment to the sport.
