If you searched “padel Croydon” or “padel Coulsdon”, the short answer is that Croydon’s two big new clubs are both still coming soon. Pure Padel is building six indoor courts in a warehouse on Brighton Road in Coulsdon, and Rocket Padel has permission for nine courts next to East Croydon station. Until they open, five venues from Purley to Beckenham are taking bookings, four of them pay-and-play.
We checked every venue below at its own website or booking page on Wednesday 28 October 2026: court counts, opening status, prices on specific dates and how to book. Court prices move with the time of day, so treat ours as a snapshot and check the app before you go.
Is there padel in Croydon right now?
Not on a pay-and-play basis. On 28 October 2026 the only open courts we found with a CR0 postcode were David Lloyd Purley’s, for members.
David Lloyd Purley sits on Hannibal Way, CR0 4RW, and has three dedicated outdoor padel courts booked through the David Lloyd Clubs app. Its padel page presents the courts as part of Platinum membership, so it suits existing members or anyone weighing up joining.
Everything else open is in Purley, Beckenham, Sutton or Whyteleafe. Our searches of booking apps, council pages and local news found no padel courts in Croydon’s parks or leisure centres.
When does Pure Padel Coulsdon open?
Pure Padel’s club page still said “Coming Soon” on 28 October 2026. In August it aimed for November; the local MP’s site now says December.
Pure Padel first announced it as Pure Padel Coulsdon and now markets it as Pure Padel Croydon, but the address is the same: 399 Brighton Road, Coulsdon CR5 3EA, in a renovated warehouse that the operator says is a ten-minute walk from Coulsdon South station.
According to Pure Padel’s own club page, you’ll get:
- six indoor courts
- a bar and café, plus a business lounge and meeting rooms
- changing rooms, showers and a pro shop
- free parking
- racket and ball rental
Booking will be on the Playtomic app. Pure Padel’s August 2026 announcement said planning permission had been granted and that it was working to open “this November”. Chris Philp, MP for Croydon South, posted on his website on 3 October that the club is “due to open in December”. When we checked on 28 October, there was no Pure Padel Croydon or Coulsdon listing on Playtomic yet, so no prices either. The club page offers free early-bird access sign-up if you want to hear first.
If you live in Coulsdon, Purley or Old Coulsdon, this is the one to watch.
Rocket Padel East Croydon
Rocket Padel’s site lists Croydon as “Coming soon”. Croydon Council granted planning permission for 1–5 Addiscombe Road, the former Royal Mail delivery office site by East Croydon station, which has been vacant since 2015 (the building was demolished in 2022). The council says the venue will have six temporary structures housing nine enclosed padel courts, plus changing rooms, a shop, a bar and four food and drink containers outside. The permission runs for up to ten years while plans for a larger development on the site come forward.
The opening date has moved before: Inside Croydon reported in November 2024 that Rocket expected to open in 2025. City AM reported on 12 October 2026, after Rocket Padel’s latest funding round, that the East Croydon club is “due to open in early 2027” with nine courts, a café and bar. Rocket has not published a date on its own site, so we’d treat early 2027 as a target.
Rocket’s Battersea and Ilford clubs book through the Padel Mates app. We’ll confirm how East Croydon books once it has a page of its own.

The club’s off-peak band is Monday to Friday 9am to 4pm. Racket hire starts at £2.50 an hour. Non-members can book four days ahead, members ten.
The club says all new padel players need a £20 “starter package”: a 30-minute session where a coach gives you a rating from 1 to 5, which you need before you can join its matches. The padel-only memberships (£240 peak, £132 off-peak a year) were listed as sold out, with a waiting list, on the club’s padel page on 1 November 2026.
Padel Xtra Beckenham
Beckenham’s first covered courts, according to the club, sit at Club Langley, 2 Hawksbrook Lane, Beckenham BR3 3SR. There are four panoramic courts, open daily 6.30am to 11pm. The club opened its courts on Saturday 5 September 2026 and books through the Padel Mates app. Prices are per player per hour: £10 off-peak (weekdays 6.30am to 5pm) and £12.50 peak, with 20% off for members. Non-members book seven days ahead, and racket hire is £4.50. Its founding memberships have sold out. For Bromley’s other courts, see our Bromley guide.
S3 Padel Sutton
Social Sports Society runs this club on Cotswold Road, Sutton, at the London Cancer Hub next to the Royal Marsden (S3’s page gives the postcode as SM2 5NS, Playtomic as SM2 5NG, so check your sat nav). S3’s page lists four covered courts and Playtomic lists the same four as roofed outdoor panoramic doubles courts, plus a fifth indoor ball-feeder court for practice. The club is open 8am to 10pm every day, with rackets and balls to rent (bring ID for a racket). On Playtomic on Tuesday 3 November 2026 an hour cost £40 in the morning and £60 at 5.30pm; on Saturday 7 November it was £60 through the day, £50 at 7.30pm and £40 from 8pm. Prices change by time of day and date, so check the booking page. S3 lists a £7.50 a month Players Pass and a £360 Annual Pass.

In Whyteleafe, Surrey, Padel Tree has three outdoor courts in the grounds of Whyteleafe Football Club, 15 Church Road, Whyteleafe CR3 0AR. They book on Playtomic, where the club is listed as “NOW OPEN”.

Hours are 8am to 10pm on weekdays, to 8pm on Saturdays and to 6pm on Sundays.

No slots were bookable for any day from 28 October to 1 November, and we found no opening announcement from the operator, so check Playtomic before you plan a game there.

Court prices are for a 60-minute doubles booking. Venues on Playtomic charge per court, so divide by four for your share; Purley and Padel Xtra publish their rates per player. For how these compare with the rest of the country, see our guide to how much padel costs.
Booking your first game
Three of the five open venues use Playtomic, so it’s worth setting up an account before anything else. Our Playtomic guide explains how booking, split payments and open matches work, and Padel Xtra’s Padel Mates app works in a similar way. If you’ve come from tennis, padel for tennis players covers what changes before your first session.
If none of these suit, our London guide covers venues across the capital, and the Surrey guide covers Epsom and beyond. We’ll update this page with prices and booking details when Pure Padel and Rocket Padel open.
