About Bronx London

Bronx London is a boxing gym at 166 Benhill Road, Camberwell, SE5 7LL, near Denmark Hill station. The gym was founded by Marnie Swindells - winner of BBC's The Apprentice in 2023, who used her prize money to open the gym. That origin story gives Bronx a media profile that most local boxing clubs can only dream of.

The gym spans 6,000 square feet in the heart of Camberwell, and serves Southwark, Peckham, Lewisham, Brixton, and the wider South East London community. They're on the London Boxing club directory, meaning they run competitive amateur boxing alongside their recreational and fitness sessions.

In Marnie's words, Bronx aims to "prove boxing belongs to everyone" - combining "the authenticity of a local amateur boxing club with the professionalism of a modern gym." Reviewers consistently praise the welcoming atmosphere, with one regular noting the sessions run "most London boxing studios charge £20 or £25" but Bronx keeps prices fair. The 4.9 Google rating reflects genuine member satisfaction.

About Honour & Glory

Honour & Glory is an England Boxing affiliated amateur boxing club at the Samuel Montagu Youth Centre in Kidbrooke, SE3. We focus on proper boxing for all ages from 5 upwards, with qualified coaches holding BBBofC licences.

Sessions run pay-as-you-go from £5, no contracts, no joining fees.

Classes and Pricing

Bronx runs beginner boxing classes, technical training, youth sessions, and competitive training. Adult pay-per-session costs £10, with monthly membership at £60. Youth rates are £6 per session or £30/month. Pricing is notably fair for a gym of its size and profile.

Honour & Glory covers infants (from age 5), juniors (10-16), amateur boxing, recreational adults, women's boxing, open sessions, and personal training from £30/hour. Our sessions start from just £5 for juniors and amateurs - so if you're comparing like for like on competitive training costs, H&G comes in cheaper.

Location

Bronx is in Camberwell (SE5), about 25 minutes from SE3 by car via the Old Kent Road. By public transport, Denmark Hill station is handy for those coming from Peckham, Brixton, or Herne Hill.

Honour & Glory in Kidbrooke is better placed for residents of Greenwich, Eltham, Blackheath, and Lee. Both clubs are in South East London, so the distance isn't huge - this genuinely comes down to which side of Lewisham you live on.

The Amateur Boxing Side

Both Bronx and Honour & Glory are on the London Boxing directory, meaning both operate genuine competitive amateur programmes. Bronx's origin story and profile have clearly attracted a diverse membership. Honour & Glory's focus is exclusively on real boxing: proper technique, licensed coaching, England Boxing affiliated competitive pathways, and no fitness-boxing padding around the edges.

The Verdict

Bronx London is genuinely impressive - a well-funded, well-run gym with an inspiring origin story, fair pricing, and an excellent Google rating. If you're in Camberwell, Peckham, or Denmark Hill, it's hard to fault.

For Greenwich borough residents, the choice may come down to geography. Honour & Glory in Kidbrooke is the better commute for most SE3, SE9, SE12, and SE18 residents. We start from age 5, run dedicated women's sessions, and keep pricing from £5. Try a free session and see what you think.
