Greenwich, London

Build your two days in London around one booked game and two flexible walks. Start with South Bank and Greenwich, keeping Hyde Park as an option for day two.

Day one around South Bank

The southern Thames walk combines views, cultural buildings and places to pause. Choose a section rather than the whole waterfront. An easy exit to a station keeps the plan flexible.

Your fixed point is the reservation at Stratford Padel Club. Work backwards from the start time and keep the walk open-ended. If the court lies across town, play first and leave the afternoon free for the neighbourhood.

Day two between Greenwich and Hyde Park

Riverfront, park and maritime history make a distinct excursion. The climb to the observatory is noticeable after a match. A level waterfront walk is a worthwhile shorter alternative.

Broad paths and the Serpentine provide distance from busy streets. Set start and finish beforehand; a park can still create a long return walk. After sport, a bench can be the destination.

If your match moves

Move Greenwich to day one. Leave a second court booking open until after the first game, when everyone knows whether another session or more time exploring sounds better.

A question players ask

What should I reserve first?

If padel is the reason for the trip, secure your court at Stratford Padel Club first. Book timed visits once you know the journey fits between the two.
