Central London is set to shine this spring as
ten striking gold table tennis tables
appear across the capital, celebrating the centenary year of the IITF World Table Tennis Championships
Finals as it returns to the capital 100 years later.
We’re inviting Londoners, workers and visitors to pick up a racket and join the celebrations.
Download the official map on
8 April, track down the tables and uncover the
full set
of pictograms for a chance to win
tickets to the upcoming ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals at OVO Arena Wembley on the 10th May,
along with a range of other prizes.
One of the golden tables will be installed outside
St Paul's
Cathedral, taking the form of a padel-style table
tennis court — an unforgettable opportunity to play beneath one of London's most iconic
landmarks.
Adding to the excitement, special guests from Table Tennis England will be visiting selected tables on 8 April and again on 23 April — World Table Tennis Day — offering top tips, fun challenges and free giveaways to help inspire players of all ages and abilities.
The initiative forms part of the build-up to the highly anticipated
World Table Tennis
Championships, which will see the world’s best athletes compete in London during this landmark
centenary year for the sport.
