Brent Cross

Prince Charles Dr, Brent Cross, London, NW4 3AY

S3 Padel Brent Cross is now closed.

After 18 months and over 16,000 players our community is relocating just down the road to a brand new home at Finchley Road opening summer 2026!

In the meantime, you can still play at S3 Padel Wembley - book your court on the Playtomic app and we'll see you there.

If you have any questions please email us. Stay informed with our new Finchley Road venue here.

Thank you to everyone who played, coached, competed and connected here. Brent Cross was where this community was born and everything we've built here is coming with us.

FAQs

Why is S3 Brent Cross closing?

Our time  at Brent Cross has come to an end. Rather than renew in the same location, we’ve taken the decision to invest in a purpose-built venue at Finchley Road that gives our community significantly more – more courts, better facilities, and a proper social space. This is a planned step forward for S3 Padel.

Monday 4th May 2026 is our final day of trading at Brent Cross

All court bookings at Brent Cross after 4th May will be cancelled. You will be contacted directly and offered a full refund to your original payment method. Where possible, we’ll try and move your booking to our Wembley venue.

Absolutely not. S3 Padel is growing. We currently operate venues across the UK including Wembley, Derby, Sutton, Bristol and more, with further sites opening in 2026. Brent Cross closing is one chapter ending so a better one can begin.

We completely understand this frustration and we are genuinely sorry. We want to be as transparent as we can about why the notice has been so short.

 

The landowners served us notice on the site, which is the reason we haven’t been able to give more warning. Whilst we did receive notice from them, our last official day at the venue and our last day of trading are not the same thing. In order to safely remove the courts and clear the site ahead of handing it back, we have to stop trading before that final date. Running a court removal operation alongside live customer sessions is not something we are able to do safely or fairly – and we would not want to offer an experience that falls below the standard you expect from us.

 

The possibility of this happening has been on our radar and it’s a big part of the reason we’ve been working hard to secure Finchley Road – we didn’t want to be in a position where we lost Brent Cross without having something better ready for this community.

 

We recognise this is not ideal and we are sorry for the inconvenience it causes. Anyone with a booking affected by the closure will be contacted directly.

You have options and someone from our team will contact you personally to talk through them. We appreciate this is an inconvenience so we’ll freeze all membership payments from now until we move to Finchley Road. During this time, you’ll still be able to use your membership perks at our nearest S3 venue – Wembley.

As soon as Finchley Road opens, we’ll transfer your membership across and give you a month free as a thank you for bearing with us. Of course, if you don’t want to join us at our exciting new Finchley Road venue, you can either stay at S3 Padel Wembley or cancel completely.

Our team is working through all active members individually. You should receive an email and a follow-up call from us within the next few days.

If you’d prefer to get in touch proactively, please contact us at brentx@socialsportssociety.com or speak to our team at the venue.

It depends on how your credit was purchased. Here’s a breakdown:

 

  •   Club wallet credit: if you have credit in your Playtomic wallet that was purchased through our standard club offer, you can transfer the full balance to our Wembley or Finchley Road venue to use when it opens. Please contact us at brentcross@socialsportssociety.com to arrange this.

 

  •   2-for-1 promotional credit: credit purchased as part of our 2-for-1 promotional offer expired on 1st April 2026 (in line with the terms of that offer) and is therefore no longer valid. Please contact our team if you’d like to check the status of your promotional credit brentcross@socialsportssociety.com

Please email us at brentcross@socialsportssociety.com or speak to a member of the team at the venue.

We’re also monitoring our social media DMs closely throughout this period and will respond as quickly as we can.
