‍This Month in Padel – October Edition

Padel’s momentum is showing no signs of slowing. October brings big moves across London, the Midlands and the North West — new courts, new tournaments, and new faces joining the game. Let’s get straight into it.

Guides We’ve Launched

• North West Guide (New!) – From large indoor hubs in Cheshire and Greater Manchester to boutique outdoor courts across Lancashire, Merseyside and the Wirral, the North West has become one of the UK’s most dynamic padel regions. Our full guide covers every venue: indoor and outdoor courts, coaching programmes, leagues, socials, and the post-match cafés and bars that give the game its buzz.
• Midlands Guides (East & West) – Our in-depth guides for the East Midlands and West Midlands are live, covering every padel venue from city hubs to village clubs. 
• London Guides (North, East, South, West) – We’ve launched four detailed guides for London, each highlighting the courts and clubs in that part of the city. Whether you’re in North, East, South or West London, you can discover local padel spots.
