Moberly Table Tennis Club Kilburn: Ping Pong in London
Moberly Table Tennis Club runs its Kilburn sessions out of Moberly Sports Centre on Chamberlayne Road, and it is a proper coaching club rather than a casual bar-and-bats setup. If you want to actually get better at table tennis, this is the one. The Kilburn slot is Wednesday evenings: kids group coaching first, then two adult practice blocks running into the night.
It suits juniors aged nine and up, plus adults who want structured practice and league play rather than a one-off knockabout. You book ahead online, so it is not a walk-in. Pay per session at £14.99, or £10 if you are a member, with an annual joining fee of £95. The wider club also coaches at its Hammersmith and Paddington sites if Wednesday in Kilburn does not fit.
The table tennis setup
This is a coaching club, so the format is sessions rather than pay-and-play table hire. In Kilburn the week runs on Wednesday: kids group coaching from 6pm to 7pm, then adult practice from 7pm to 8:30pm and again from 8:30pm to 10pm. You get coached drills, structured practice and a route into competitive play, with the club fielding teams in the Central London Table Tennis League. Beginners through to advanced players are catered for, and the same club coaches juniors and adults across its other London sites too.
Good to know
Book ahead through the club's online system, this is not a turn-up-and-play venue. A session costs £14.99 if you are not a member and £10 if you are, for both kids and adults. Membership carries an annual joining fee of £95, worth it only if you come regularly. The Kilburn base is Moberly Sports Centre, 25 Chamberlayne Road, NW10 3NB, a short walk from Kensal Green and Kensal Rise stations. Bring your own bat if you have one, though the club runs proper coaching kit on site.
