About Don Davis Boxing Academy
Don Davis Boxing Academy is based at the Black Prince Community Trust, 5 Beaufoy Walk, Lambeth, SE11 6AA - near Kennington, accessible via the Northern Line from Kennington or Elephant & Castle station. The academy is a community interest company focused on making boxing accessible and safe, with a clear mission rooted in the Lambeth community.
The academy has built a serious competitive record in the London amateur boxing scene. In recent seasons they've been one of the first London clubs to have multiple elite London champions in the same year - producing intermediate and elite-level fighters who compete and win at the top of the amateur structure. For anyone in Lambeth who wants a club with a genuine competitive pathway, Don Davis has the credentials.
The Black Prince Community Trust provides a strong base for the academy - community-led facilities in the heart of Lambeth, giving the club access and relationships with the broader Vauxhall and Kennington community.
About Honour & Glory
Honour & Glory is an England Boxing affiliated amateur boxing club at the Samuel Montagu Youth Centre in Kidbrooke, SE3. We run classes for all ages from 5 upwards, with BBBofC licensed coaches led by head coach Anton (30+ years experience).
Sessions are pay-as-you-go from £5, with no joining fees or contracts.
Classes
Don Davis runs a competitive programme with documented results at London Championship level. The focus is clearly on developing boxers who compete. They're less of a recreational boxing club and more of a performance-focused training environment.
Honour & Glory offers both: a proper competitive pathway for those who want to box in bouts, and a range of recreational and developmental sessions for those who simply want to train well. Infant boxing from age 5, juniors, women's sessions, recreational adults, competitive amateurs, and personal training from £30/hour.
Location
Don Davis is in Lambeth (SE11), about 30 minutes from SE3 by car via the Old Kent Road. By public transport it's more manageable than some other comparisons on this page - but still not particularly convenient for Greenwich borough residents.
Honour & Glory in Kidbrooke is closer for Greenwich, Eltham, and Blackheath residents - 10 to 15 minutes, no complex route required.
The Verdict
Don Davis Boxing Academy is doing excellent work in Lambeth and producing competitive boxers at a high level. If you're in the Kennington or Vauxhall area and want a performance-focused training environment, they're a strong choice.
For families and adults in South East London looking for a club with a broad programme covering ages 5 and up - both recreational and competitive - Honour & Glory is the more convenient option with flexible pay-as-you-go pricing from £5. Book a free trial and see for yourself.
