Boxing Near Rotherhithe (2026 Guide)

Rotherhithe sits on a wide bend in the Thames, a former docklands area that is now predominantly residential. Canada Water and Surrey Quays are well-connected on the Jubilee Line and the Overground, but quality boxing training within the immediate area is limited.

Honour and Glory Boxing Club is at 122 Broad Walk, Kidbrooke, SE3 8ND, about 22 minutes from Rotherhithe. The club is ABA affiliated, coaches hold BBBofC licences, and over 200 members train there regularly.

Rotherhithe and the Wider Area
