Tour Padel Avery Hill

Tour Padel Avery Hill sits inside the University of Greenwich Avery Hill Campus at Avery Hill Road, New Eltham, London SE9 2UG. The site is on the south-east London border between Greenwich and Bexley.

The courts are reached via the A2 and A20 corridors, with the South Circular (A205) and the M25 (J3) feeding traffic in from across Kent and the wider capital. The campus is roughly fifteen minutes from Eltham, Bexleyheath and Greenwich town centres.

This is the second London-area location for Tour Padel, the operator behind the popular Tour Padel Medway Campus club. The Avery Hill venue brings public pay-and-play padel to a corner of south-east London that has long been underserved.

The Avery Hill site opened to public bookings in 2026 as part of a partnership between Tour Padel and the University of Greenwich. Public players, students, staff and local clubs all share the same booking system, with no membership required.

The combination of campus parking, nearby changing facilities and long opening hours has made the venue an easy midweek option for office workers in Greenwich, Bexleyheath and Bromley.

The padel courts

Tour Padel Avery Hill operates two outdoor panoramic doubles courts built to Spanish specification. Glass back walls and side panels give clear sightlines from the campus walkway and make the venue easy to spot from the surrounding paths.

The synthetic-grass surface is sand-dressed and free draining, so play continues through typical London showers and the courts return to use quickly after heavier rain.

Both courts are fitted with LED floodlights, which keep evening sessions usable through the winter months when London daylight runs short. Equipment lockers next to the courts hold rental rackets and balls.

Players who arrive without kit can pick everything up at the side of the court rather than queueing at a reception desk, which is a useful touch for groups arriving straight from work.

Booking and access

Court bookings run through Playtomic. Players download the Playtomic app, create a profile and then book a court at Tour Padel Avery Hill in 90-minute slots, which is the standard duration for the venue.

Live rates show at the booking step on Playtomic and typically sit in the £32 to £40 per court band depending on time of day. Peak evening slots sit at the upper end and quieter midweek mornings sit at the lower end.

The courts are bookable daily from 06:00 to 23:00, giving early-morning players, lunchtime regulars and after-work groups plenty of options. Free parking is available on the Avery Hill campus next to the courts.

Cancellations and weather disruption follow the standard Tour Padel policy: rain-interrupted games qualify for a free reschedule or a credit refund to use against a future booking. The venue contact for general enquiries is info@tourpadel.co.uk or +44 7418 641158.

Programme and social

Tour Padel runs an open-match calendar on Playtomic so visiting players can slot into mix-ins by level rather than turning up looking for a fourth. A club WhatsApp community handles last-minute games and informal social fixtures.

The operator schedules tournaments and competitive ladders across both its sites through the year, so regulars at Avery Hill can travel to the Medway Campus club for larger draws and bigger fields.

Coaching is offered through Tour Padel’s in-house programme, with private and group sessions for beginners through to club-level players. Public taster classes start from around £10 and academy updates are posted under the venue’s Academy tab inside Playtomic.

Best for padel in Greenwich

Tour Padel Avery Hill suits social and improving players in south-east London who want reliable, flexible court access without committing to a membership.

The combination of outdoor panoramic courts, long daily opening hours, easy campus parking and on-site racket hire makes it a strong fit for office workers in Greenwich, students at the University of Greenwich and clubs travelling down from Bromley, Bexleyheath and Eltham.

Players who need a fully indoor, climate-controlled facility in deep winter, or who want six or more courts for tournament play, will be better served by larger London venues.

For most public players in this part of the city, a pair of well-lit outdoor courts on a university campus with disabled access, lockers and a cafeteria is exactly the right balance.

Tour Padel runs an in-house coaching team at Avery Hill, offering private 1-on-1 lessons, small-group sessions and public taster classes for beginners through to club-level players.
