Padel Tree Arkley

Three outdoor panoramic courts on Brickfield Lane make up Padel Tree Arkley, the operator’s smallest London-area site, tucked into the leafy west side of Barnet. The club pitches itself at casual players and improvers, with beginner-friendly coached sessions running every week and a tighter community feel than the larger Padel Tree venues. Booking is pay-and-play through Playtomic, open 8am to 10pm daily, and rackets and balls can be hired at the venue or added through the app. Free parking is available on site.

New to padel? What you need for your first session

Most UK padel venues hire rackets by the hour, so you do not need to buy anything before your first game. Check this club’s booking page for hire availability and prices.

Once you have played a few times and want your own kit, this is the order we would buy in.

• Court shoes first. Clubs hire rackets, they do not hire shoes, and running trainers slide on padel courts. This is the single purchase that most improves your first month. See our best padel shoes for UK players.
• Then a racket. Once your technique has settled you will know whether you want control or power. Start with our best beginner padel rackets, or read how to choose your first padel racket.
• Balls last. Most clubs provide balls for casual sessions. When you start playing regularly, see our best padel balls for UK courts.
