Is London’s padel boom unstoppable? Sphere Magazine shares details of the capital’s latest luxury property wellness and lifestyle offerings
Is London’s padel boom unstoppable? According to Rupert des Forges, Knight Frank’s head of Prime Central London, it certainly looks that way. Padel courts are just one of the key wellness essentials in London’s luxury new builds, as Zoe Dare Hall explores in her recent article for Sphere magazine. As the obsession with wellness sees no signs of slowing in 2026, here are just some of the key trends in life-enhancing amenities in the London premium property market:
- Padel courts are in high demand, and private courts are becoming a major draw for London’s high‑net‑worth buyers. At Opus, Bankside Yards, residents will have access to a court set within the historic Victorian railway arches.
- Around-the-clock self‑improvement is key for these buyers, making at‑home spa treatments, such as those offered at 100 George Street W1 through the Residents Rewards programme, a major selling point.
- Amenities popular in US luxury developments, such as podcast studios, are now crossing the pond. At Opus, Bankside Yards, residents will benefit from dedicated music, art, and podcast studios within The River Rooms.
- Increasingly, amenities are shaping property decisions, as buyers are seeking convenience, privacy, and holistic wellbeing all in one place.
