Will be spending a lot more time in London
Any best neighborhoods to live if Padel is a priority? Best clubs to play at for highest level of players? Best club for affordable courts when wanting to do drills? Any guidance on the London market is greatly appreciated.
Any favorite shops to access equipment? Or do people buy mostly from Spanish and Italian vendors online?
Any top spots for strength training gym? I care about cable machines and dumbbells mostly. Any of the padel clubs offer this or people usually get a separate gym membership?
Any WhatsApp groups I should join?

Avoid rocks lane Chiswick, especially during the winter.
Your main (indoor) centres will be any of the Rocket clubs (Battersea, Beckton, Ilford)
Padium (Canary Wharf)
Racketeer (North Acton) - has a gym as well
Stratford Padel Club (Stratford)
Padel Box (Bermondsey)
Expect high pricing. Padium and Rocket Battersea are the most expensive.
Padel Mates seems to be the way the majority of clubs in London are going. IMO it’s better than Playtomic but there’s a slight difference in levels. 4 on Playtomic = 4.3ish on padel mates.
Lots of good UK based padel shops. Everything padel, pdh sports to name a couple.
All the clubs will have WhatsApp groups, though padel mates also has a community page which is very similar where people can post their matches etc

I play padel quite regularly, your best option is to be close to a hub where is easy to get onto most tube lines as most clubs are in zone 3,4,5 . But tube makes it easy. Use Playtomic and padel mates app most clubs are on those
