Rocket Padel has secured €8 million (£6.8 million) in funding as it prepares to launch two new club locations in West London and East Croydon. The funding will support the expansion plans for the padel club operator.
The East Croydon site, located near the station, has received planning permission after a process that took over 2.5 years.

Rocket Padel aims to open this facility in 2025, anticipating it will become a community hub and introduce new players to the sport.
