Boxing Near Crayford (2026 Guide)

Boxing Near Crayford

Crayford sits on the eastern edge of Bexley, close to the Dartford border, and decent boxing facilities are not the most obvious thing to find locally. Honour and Glory Boxing Club in Kidbrooke is 17 minutes by car and offers the kind of coaching standard that most towns in this area simply do not have access to.

The gym is at 122 Broad Walk, SE3 8ND, with free parking on site. Adult classes run Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 7:30pm to 9pm, at £10 per session.

Getting There from Crayford

From Crayford, take the A206 west toward Erith and then the A2 toward Kidbrooke. The journey runs to around 17 minutes in normal traffic. Free parking at the gym means the trip ends without the usual urban parking problem.

Crayford station connects to Dartford and London Bridge on the Southeastern line. For those without a car, combining a train to Lewisham and a short bus journey is an option, though driving is more practical from Crayford.

What the Gym Offers

Honour and Glory is an ABA-affiliated, community boxing club that opened in 2020. It has over 200 members and a 4.9-star rating on Google from over 40 reviews.

The Coaching Credentials

Head coach Anton Pattenden leads a team that has trained members from complete beginners through to amateur competition level. The club is accredited by the ABA, the national governing body for amateur boxing in England.

This is worth knowing if you have been to gyms that call themselves boxing clubs but lack any formal affiliation. The standard at H&G is verifiable.

Crayford and the Surrounding Area

Crayford is an industrial and residential town that punches above its weight in terms of local character. The River Cray runs through the town and Crayford Stadium has brought a different kind of competitive energy to the area for decades.

The people who train at H&G from Crayford tend to be practical about the commute. A 17-minute drive to a gym with real credentials is a better option than a closer facility with lower standards.

Members from nearby Sidcup and Erith also train at H&G regularly.
