Hey for everyone who wants a challenge, Bacon's college on a Wednesday is for intermediates. Starts from 8 - 10.30 and is £5 using feathers. Come down anytime if you are interested and speak to the organiser.
I'll be in London soon, probably Bacon's college will be the nearest court but i dunno what 'intermediate' means as it may be completely different from what 'intermediate' means in Singapore , hopefully I am not that bad by UK intermediate standards... May I know what speed of shuttles are used in London? (Yonex speed number 1,2,3 and the other brands numbering, 75,76,77,78?) I want to bring some over.
Playing Badminton in Chiswick, London Hi Everyone, I will come to London for a vacation and stay in Chiswick for a few days (from May 11 through 14, and May 18 through 20 of 2007 -- visit Paris in those missing dates). I am an advanced intermediate player and have been playing badminton for over 5 years now in a regular basis. I was wondering if anyone who is kindly willing to let me know where I can play (drop-in) nearby Chiswick or perhaps a distance of 30 minutes away by train from Chiswick?? This is gonna be my first visit in London, so, I know nothing about the city. I am a very friendly and easy going. I really appreciate for your caring replies. Thank you very much!!!
Hi guys, I've just discovered a place in island gardens just outside of the Island Gardens tube station where courts can be booked per hour (£7). All I need now are players. Anyone interested? Island Gardens is only 10 mins away from CanaryWharf. This is ideal for anyone in Island Gardens, Mudchute, Crossharbour, South Quay, Heron Quays and Canary Wharf. I am mainly a singles player and this is one of the rare opportunities to get singles games in the UK. I noticed that singles isn't very common in this country. Please contact me if you're interested. Cheers, Kevin
Hi all, I've just moved to Isle of Dogs (just outside Mudchute DLR) and I'm looking to get back into badminton. I haven't played for the last 4 years (while I was at uni) but before that I was probably low-intermediate standard. Anyone have any suggestions of nearby clubs that accept people of slightly lower standards (all the ones I've seen seem very strict about being up to club/league level). -Paul

Hi everyone, I just moved to London and played badminton for several years in The Netherlands, just looked up my ranking and I'm ranked about 1000. So certainly not a great player, but far from beginner too. I'm looking for a club to train on weekdays and to play in a league team as well. I live and work in Central London. Any suggestions?
Depends on what night of the week you want to play and where about you are and what transport you use. I play in the Ravenbourne and Orpington leagues. there are good clubs in Plumstead, Catford, West wickham that all play league Rotherhithe http://www.rrba.net/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=1 http://www.kentbadminton.co.uk/OrpingtonNWK/index.htm
Thanks for helping! I'm looking for a club in Zone 1 or 2 in London and I definitely need to be able to get to there by tube. Night of the week preferably Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday. I'm basically looking for the nearest, not very very small, club to Tottenham Court Road.
not sure about clubs in central london. There is bacon school at rotherhithe which is in zone 2 nearest tube canada water. check the all england website theymight have some more clubs listed inner city
The only problem with Bacon's college is that it's about 15 mins walk from canada water tube station. The place tends to be very packed too.
it has 4 courts and can be busy. but so can most places, where I play we have 60 odd members on one night average turning up is 30-40 on 4 courts.
Hi I just moved to Isle of Dogs (nr Island Gardens) for work (Canary Wharf) and need to get some exercise. Havent played for a few years so anybody know where I can join in for a game or 2 a couple of times a week in either area? Cheers!
Playing badminton in Canary Wharf and Docklands area Hi there, I live and work in Canary Wharf area. Together with my friends, we have just set up a group to organise some badminton games for people around Canary Wharf and Docklands area. Please visit our website http://londonbadminton.weebly.com or our Facebook Group We aim to organise badminton sessions regularly for say 2 hours each session. We welcome badminton players of all levels. Shuttlecocks will be provided. The plan is to start with Saturday session and then a weekday badminton night. Tell me what you think. Interested?
badminton club set up? Hiya, I was wondering if you guys managed to set up your own club, and if players of all levels are still welcome? I've been playing for about 6 months. If it's set up I have a few people that are interested in playing - we used to play at Woolwich but we'd like to go elsewhere now...
ckone, you are most welcome to join our group. we play 3 times a week, tuesdays, thursdays and saturdays. we always limit the number of players per session, so that there is less waiting time. maximum of 6 players per court. check out the website http://londonbadminton.weebly.com and you need to pre-book via Facebook (search The London Canary Wharf Badminton Meetup Group). if you don't have a Facebook account, just create one hope to see you soon. cheers
