Padel Social Club’s five-court club at The O2 in Greenwich will open in January 2027, according to the operator’s own website. That is later than the November 2026 date reported when the company announced its funding round in May, and it comes with founding memberships that are on sale now.

When does The O2 club open?

The club opens in January 2027, per the operator. Its O2 page reads “Opening January 2027” and names no day, so treat it as a month, not a date.

The change is recent. When we checked on 5 November, the operator’s pages said only that the full club was “serving soon”. The O2’s own padel page, which we reloaded on 12 November, still says the full club will open “later this year” and that refurbishment is underway. The operator is the one running the club, so we have followed its date. Our original report on the May funding round gave November for both this site and Kentish Town.

Five courts and a clubhouse

Padel Social Club describes five panoramic courts, a mix of indoor and outdoor, at Peninsula Square, London SE10 0DX. Around them sits a clubhouse with a café and kitchen, a bar and an outdoor terrace with heaters for the colder months. There is also a lounge to work from, changing rooms with lockers, and a shop selling rackets, balls, grips and bags.

The operator has not said how many of the five courts are covered. The May funding reports gave two indoor and three outdoor, but the current pages say only “indoor and outdoor”, so we have not repeated the split as confirmed.

Founding membership prices

Founding memberships are on sale now. The operator lists two ways to pay:

  • Upfront: £575 a year with no joining fee during the launch window. The operator says that saves £165 against paying monthly.
  • Monthly: £57.50 a month with a £50 joining fee.

The sums hold up. Twelve payments of £57.50 come to £690, and adding the joining fee makes £740, which is £165 more than £575. The membership page also shows a £625 figure beside the £575 without labelling it. We read it as the standard rate once the founding offer ends, but the operator does not say so.

Memberships activate when the club opens in January, so nothing is charged for court time you cannot use yet. The operator says membership is capped, and that members can book 12 days ahead against 3 days for non-members, with a 10% player discount on courts. The same page lists Earls Court at £675 a year plus a £50 joining fee and shows Paddington as sold out.

Playing at The O2 before January

Two outdoor panoramic courts were bookable at The O2 through Playtomic when we checked on 29 October and again on 5 November. Playtomic blocked our check on 12 November, so we cannot confirm current slots. The operator’s FAQ page also still describes two courts open from 08:00 to 23:00, but that page does not look recently updated.

If you want to play there before January, check the Playtomic listing for the live court count and times. Our London padel guide carries the same advice.

What it means for London players

The move from November to January is a two-month slip against the plan in the funding announcement, so book nothing around a firm opening day yet. The operator has given a month and no date. Its Paddington site, which we covered in our Paddington report, is open and bookable if you want a Padel Social Club venue closer to central London.

Kentish Town, the operator’s eight-court site, is still listed as “serving soon”, and its page says only “later this year”, with no month or date. We track every confirmed and unconfirmed opening on our 2026 UK openings tracker.

Checked against the operator’s The O2, membership, FAQ and journal pages and The O2’s padel page on 12 November 2026.
