Where to train in London?

[Zezima]

28 Apr - 10 May I am planning to go there around that date and maybe there is also not an expensive option to train while visiting the city and watching the pros matches?
If there are just people around my level around >1600TTR thats also cool.

Ebatt would be the closest to the Wembley OVO arena if that's important. https://ebatt.co.uk/ebatt-table-tennis-centre/

Is it true that ebatt charges 200$ for an hour?

That would be for private 1 to 1 coaching from Eli himself.

I'm not sure what the cost would be to simply train at the centre - You'd need to enquire (but USUALLY, prices are anywhere from £5 to £10 per session if it's a group "social" night), and that session would often be 3 hours ish.

yeah only for the friday it costs 12$ I think. Any other day its 30$ for 1,5h non members it seems. Membership costs 12$ so its fine if I go there almost every day. They also seem to offer multiball but idk if they mean with robot or with an actual person. The group sessions are quite short. I would like to train 2h-3h atleast. I wrote to them maybe we can arrange something that fits.

Hey @Zezima there is also Fusion in London which is a great setup to check out if ebatt doesn't work out. Enjoy London!

p.s I loved Runescape... are you the real Zezima? haha

It's not a rumour, unless his own coaching page is wrong:

IMO, that webpage is specifically designed to catch random city types with too much money. My understanding was that Zezima's question was about regular playing sessions at ebatt. They also have group coaching sessions, advanced master class sessions, 1-to-1 coaching, etc all of which are priced differently for members and non-members.

Oh, 100%.

But the £200 per hour is the 1 to 1 price I believe.

Group sessions etc (or just "turn up and play type sessions) are much lower.

I'm not sure I could drop £200 on a social night!
