NET Table Tennis Centre Brentford: Ping Pong in London
NET Table Tennis Centre is a turn-up-and-play ping pong club running out of the Pankhurst Gym sports hall at Brentford School for Girls. It is a proper bat-and-ball setup rather than a bar, so it suits anyone who actually wants to play: regulars knocking up, families, and people after coaching. Up to 10 tables are laid out, and the single most useful thing to know is that you do not need to book. You just show up during one of the open sessions and pay on the door.
Sessions run on Tuesday and Friday evenings and Sunday mornings. It is £10 per person for 90 minutes, or £20 for a whole table of up to four. Children under 13 need an adult with them.
The ping pong setup
This is a real table tennis venue, not a social games bar. Up to 10 quality tables are set out in the school sports hall, with space to play singles or doubles. The format is simple: turn up during an open session, pay, and play. There is no membership and no reservation needed. If you want to improve, UKCC Level 2 coach George Miljanic runs individual and group coaching for all ages and abilities, which you arrange directly with him by phone rather than through a booking page.
Good to know
Pricing is straightforward pay-and-play: £10 per person for a 90-minute slot, or £20 for a table shared between up to four people, which works out cheaper for a group. Bring your own bat if you have one. Sessions are limited to set windows, so check the day before you head over: Tuesday and Friday evenings from 18:30 to 21:30, and Sunday mornings from 10:00 to 13:00. Children under 13 must be accompanied by an adult. It sits on Boston Manor Road, walkable from Brentford and Boston Manor stations.
