Boxing Near Plumstead (2026 Guide)

Plumstead sits close to Woolwich, with Plumstead Common providing green space and Abbey Wood station nearby for Elizabeth line connections. It is an area that has been changing, with a mix of long-established families and newer residents drawn by improved transport links.

For boxing, the nearest serious option is Honour and Glory in Kidbrooke, 12 minutes by car or reachable by the 122, 178, or 286 bus.

Getting There From Plumstead

The 122 bus runs between Plumstead and Kidbrooke. The 178 and 286 provide further connections. By car, the drive via Shooters Hill Road takes around 12 minutes. Free parking is available at the gym at 122 Broad Walk, SE3 8ND.

Plumstead does not have a direct train to Kidbrooke, but the bus routes are straightforward and the journey is manageable from most parts of the area.

The Club

Honour and Glory was founded in 2020 as an independent community boxing club. ABA affiliated, with coaches holding BBBofC licences. Membership is over 200 people, including competitive amateur boxers and recreational members who train for fitness, discipline, or the sport itself.

This is a boxing club, not a gym that added boxing as a timetable option. The coaching is structured, the progression is real, and the standards are maintained.
