Hey, I am in Greenwich and looking for partners to play baddy. A bit rusty as not played for ages. Any of u interested? Weekday/ weekend is okay with me!! Cheers Nishant
Hello, My name is Takahiro Kyo. I just moved to Greenwich from Tokyo, Japan. I played badminton over 10 yrs, but rusty due to 3 yr termination. I would like to get back to Badminton. If you are still interested, please let me know. Thank you
Hi Takahiro, I would be definitely interested in playing. Do you know of any clubs around greenwich.. i heard theres one at elephant castle.. but have to get more details. When is a suitable time for you.. for me wednesdays or a weekend would be fine.. cheers
Hi Nishant Quite honestly, I have absolutely no idea where to play since I just moved to UK herself a few weeks ago. I will search for places to play around GW for us and let you know. As for time, anytime after 6:30 pm or so on Weekdays and all day on weekends. Should we plan to play tomorrow night? Say around 6 or 6:30pm?
Hi, I am sorry, have already plans for tomorrow and this weekend.. Can we start from next wednesday? How about 7. My office gets over at 6 so would take 40 mins -1 hr to reach there. Where do you work? I work in central london. If u r also working in central london then we can look for clubs nearby then we can start early what u say
Hi, Next Wed sounds good. I work in Canary Wharf, but don't mind the travel to central london if thats convenient for you. Lets try to find places. I will update you later. Thanks, Taka
Clubs close to Greenwich Hi Here is some information on Badders clubs close to Greenwich : http://www.kentbadminton.co.uk/OrpingtonNWK/Index.htm Clubs local to you are : Bacons Badminton Club, they play at Rotherhithe Catford Wanderers, they play at Catford Greenwich Borough, they play at Plumstead Nat West, they play at Catford Contact details for those clubs are at that site. I hope this info helps you.
Hello, Thank you so much for those info... For next Tuesday, which area within Central London would you like to play in? Any preference?
Hi Takahiro Sorry but I don't live or work in Central London. So Central London is no good for me as thats too to travel. I live in Dartford and I play in the league that I gave you the information about. Maybe we can organise a game sometime in the future
Did you try any of the clubs mentioned in the list? I tried the One at Greenwich (Mauritius Road), couldnt find anyone. Found another club at Elephant & Castle. The charges are 8£/ hr for the court. We have to get our own shuttles. Cheers Nishant
I play at and know the organisers for the Bacons Badminton Club which are held Tues-Weds-Thurs evenings. We play feathers and the cost is £5 for 2-3hrs. The sport hall is near Canada Water on Jubilee Line, which might be ideal for people who live near greenwich. I live near Greenwich and it would be cool to play a game sometimes.
Thanks Henry for the info.. Any chances you may be coming tomorrow? Tako what about you.. u interested in playing tomorrow?
Hey Henry If I want to play on Thursday ? Is this at Bacons Badminton Club. Do I need to contact someone? Where is it ? How much is guest fees ? I might turn up on Thursday to get some games, is this ok? Cheers Pete

Sorry to revive an old thread - I was looking for a badminton club near Greenwich and came across this. Can anyone give me any more details on the Bacon's College badminton club, please? Is it a 7.30 start on all three evenings, and is there any difference between the days (attendance/standard)? How many players are there, and what proportion men:women? What is the general standard? How many courts are there? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
Bacons Badders club Hi Kit Welcome to the post. Bacons badminton Club play on 3-4 courts. 7:30pm start to 10:30pm.Standard is novice to intermediates. They play in West Kent/Orpington League. You'll probably find there are probably 75% men to 25% women. Cost is £5 a night, playing with feathers. I am fairly new playing there. I have been playing a couple of weeks there. They are a friendly bunch of people. I hope that information helps you Pete
