…AND OTHER PLANS. What’s on in and around London this weekend 3–4 October 2026. Padel first. Obviously. But London Padel Week has never been only about what happens on court.

Discovering London. Trying a new place. Having a drink. Going to an event. Sharing food, music, culture or s

Willoma: The Soft Revolution in Activewear
Meet the Founder: Katie Crawley Sometimes innovation doesn't begin with adding more. Sometimes it begins by taking something away. For Katie Crawley, founder of Willoma Clothing, that "something" was the feeling of restriction. As a yoga teacher, she struggled to find activewear that reflected the essence of her practice. Everywhere she looked, she found the same products: tight-fitting, synthetic garments designed to compress rather than support. They performed. But they did

Padel X Elite: Where Performance Meets Confident Femininity

Raquex, the padel rackets built to Be Different, Designed for Every Player
We believe playing with a Raquex racket really does make a difference. "I first met Olly Rose while travelling around the UK visiting padel clubs and industry events. Then something else caught my attention. I found myself completely mesmerised by the video on the Raquex website, watching the craftsmanship and precision behind the production of their rackets. I must have watched it more than once. From that moment, I knew I wanted Raquex to be part of London Padel Week. So I

The New Yacht Lounge Is The Padel Club
At first glance, some people may ask: what does a media platform inspired by the world of yachting have to do with padel?
Actually, a lot.
Because Yacht Lounge is not really about yachts. It is about the people, ideas, conversations and connections that move around them.
And this is exactly how we see padel today.
