Moberly Table Tennis Club Queen's Park: Ping Pong in London
Moberly Table Tennis Club runs its Queen's Park sessions out of Moberly Sports Centre on Chamberlayne Road, and it is a proper club rather than a bar with a few tables. If you actually want to play table tennis, get coached, or join a league, this is the spot. The Wednesday evening sessions split into kids and adult slots, with adult general practice running into the late evening.
It suits everyone from total beginners through to competitive players, since the club offers group and one-to-one coaching alongside local and national league play. You pay per session and can either turn up as a non-member or join for cheaper rates. Booking ahead through the club is the sensible move, as these are structured sessions rather than a casual drop-in.
The table tennis setup
This is a sports-hall club, so you get indoor tables and room to actually move, not a couple of tables wedged into a venue. The Queen's Park base at Moberly Sports Centre runs Wednesday evenings, with a kids slot first, then two adult sessions taking practice through to around 10pm. The club covers practice nights, league play and competitions at local and national level, plus coaching for members and non-members. If you are serious about improving rather than just knocking a ball about, the structured sessions and coaching are the draw.
Good to know
Sessions are pay-as-you-go. Members pay £10 a session at the Queen's Park venue, non-members £14.99, and annual membership runs at roughly £95 if you play often enough to make it worth it. Coaching comes in group form for kids and adults, plus one-to-one and training camps. Book your slot through the club's booking page rather than just rocking up, since these are scheduled sessions. The club also runs at Charing Cross Sports Club in Hammersmith and St Augustine's in Maida Vale if Wednesday does not suit.
