Boxing Near Welling: Your 2026 Guide
Welling sits between Bexleyheath and Plumstead, a proper south east London suburb with a solid high street, a station on the Southeastern line, and Danson Park a short walk away. If you want to take up boxing, the nearest serious boxing gym is Honour and Glory in Kidbrooke, about 12 minutes by car.
This guide covers how to get there, what the sessions are like, and what you can expect in your first few weeks.
Getting There From Welling
The fastest route is via car along the A207 through Bexleyheath. Free parking is available at the gym on Broad Walk, so you will not spend five minutes circling the block.
If you prefer public transport, the 89 bus runs from Welling toward Shooters Hill Road. From there it is a short connection into Kidbrooke. The journey takes around 25 minutes by bus.
Welling station is on the Southeastern line, but for evening sessions the drive is more practical.

What to Expect at Your First Session
You do not need to have boxed before. The first few sessions focus on fundamentals: stance, footwork, the basic punches. You will work on the pads and the bags. No sparring until you are ready and willing.
The gym has a direct atmosphere. Coaches correct technique rather than just count reps. People from Welling, Bexleyheath, Eltham, and across south east London train here.
Why Make the 12-Minute Trip?
There is a difference between a boxing gym and a fitness class wearing boxing gloves. Honour and Glory teaches proper boxing under qualified coaches. If you are going to spend your evenings training, you may as well do it somewhere that builds real skill.
Welling residents who train here regularly cite the quality of coaching as the reason they keep coming back. A short drive from Danson Park to Kidbrooke is not a barrier once you have done it a few times.
