A ping-pong extravaganza at London’s St Pancras rail station launched this summer’s table tennis festival, Ping! London, in style last week.
Funded by Sport England, Ping! London is giving thousands of Londoners the chance to play impromptu games for free on 100 tables across the capital between now and the end of August. It will then travel to four other cities before returning to London for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in two years time.
