Table Tennis Fight Club's King's Cross session runs upstairs at Somers Town Sports Centre on Chalton Street, just south of the station. It is a proper club rather than a bar with a couple of tables, with 7 tables and a competitive but friendly crowd. Most useful thing to know: most people turn up solo and get mixed in, so you do not need to bring a partner.

Sessions are pay as you go with no membership needed, booked online in advance at roughly £25 to £29 for a two-hour slot. Bats are free to borrow if you do not have your own. Each session usually starts with warm-up drills and ends with games for anyone who wants to compete, so it suits keen beginners as much as regulars.

The table tennis setup

You get 7 tables on the first floor of Somers Town Sports Centre, set up for real play rather than novelty pong. Sessions are structured: a coached warm-up with training drills first, then open games for anyone who wants to compete. Bats and balls are available to borrow at no extra cost if you turn up empty handed, though regulars bring their own. The standard is high, with the club known for serious competitive play, but the open weekend sessions are genuinely open to all and built around mixing players of different levels together.

Good to know

This is paid and pre-booked, not a walk-in bar. Buy a ticket online in advance, usually around £25 to £29 for a two-hour session, with no membership required. The King's Cross sessions land on Friday evenings, Saturday afternoons and Sunday afternoons; days and times shift a little, so check the site before you travel. Most players come on their own and join in, so solo turning up is normal. You can also book a group session or a private table through the website if you want the space to yourselves.

Getting there

The venue is at 134 Chalton Street, NW1 1RX, a short walk south from King's Cross St Pancras, which puts the Victoria, Northern, Piccadilly, Circle, Hammersmith and City and Metropolitan lines plus mainline and Thameslink trains within easy reach. Euston is also close by on foot. The club is on the first floor of Somers Town Sports Centre, so head upstairs once you are inside rather than expecting a street-level venue.
