The Ping Pong Parlour is a one-of-a-kind table tennis social club, located just off Carnaby Street. As well as being able to play ping pong for free (although unfortunately not on regulation size tables), The Ping Pong Parlour offers up table tennis lessons (with an English Table Tennis Association coach!), Ping Pong parties (DJs, round the table tournaments and a robot which shoots out 170 balls a minute) and a Ping Pong Quiz Show.
The Ping Pong Parlour was conceived by Meera Sodha, Ping Pong enthusiast, and realised in association with design practise, The Klassnik Corporation www.klassnik.com an interdisciplinary design practice focused on communication of ideas through architectural research.
The Ping Pong Parlour is part of a wider initiative called Ping! which plans to put 100 ping pong tables on the streets of London for one month this summer. Situated in landmarks, squares, shopping centres, airports, parks and train stations; bringing ping pong to the people!
