About County ABC

County Amateur Boxing Club (also known historically as Leyton ABC) was established in 1968 and is based at Leyton Sports Ground in Waltham Forest. The club has been a fixture of East London amateur boxing for over 55 years.

County ABC runs sessions every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday - juniors (ages 7-16) from 6:30-7:30pm and seniors (17+) from 7:30-9:00pm. Classes are mixed ability, covering everything from beginners to competitive amateur boxers, with a focus on confidence, fitness, technique, and conditioning.

About Honour & Glory

Honour & Glory is based at the Samuel Montagu Youth Centre in Kidbrooke, SE3. We're an England Boxing affiliated amateur boxing club with qualified coaches holding BBBofC licences. Our head coach Anton brings over 30 years of boxing experience.

We run classes for all ages from 5 upwards - infants (5-9), juniors (10-16), senior amateurs, recreational adults, and dedicated women's sessions. Sessions run on a pay-as-you-go basis from £5, with no joining fees or contracts.

Classes

County ABC runs a clean, simple schedule: juniors three evenings a week, seniors three evenings a week. Both tracks cover beginners to competitive level. It's a focused setup without separate recreational or women's sessions.

Honour & Glory offers more variety: infants from age 5, separate recreational and competitive tracks, dedicated women's sessions, and personal training from £30/hour. Our youngest age group starts two years earlier than County's.

Pricing

County ABC's pricing isn't listed on their website. They sell merchandise and kit through an online store. Contact the club for session fees.

Honour & Glory is pay as you go from £5 per session for juniors and amateurs, £10 for recreational adults. No joining fees, no contracts.

Location and Access

County ABC in Leyton is about 45 minutes from Kidbrooke by car. By public transport, you're looking at well over an hour. It's deep in East London territory.

Honour & Glory is in Kidbrooke, accessible from Blackheath, Eltham, Lee, and Greenwich in minutes.

The Verdict

County ABC is a well-established club with over 55 years of history. For anyone in Waltham Forest, it's a straightforward choice. For South East Londoners, the journey makes regular training impractical. Honour & Glory offers more class variety, training from age 5, and transparent pay-as-you-go pricing from £5 - all locally.
