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
Fairbairn focuses on amateur boxing development. Contact the club for their specific timetable and age group details.
Honour & Glory offers a broader programme from age 5, with recreational and competitive tracks, dedicated women's sessions, and personal training from £30/hour.
Pricing
Fairbairn is reportedly one of the cheapest clubs in London at around £2 per session - genuinely impressive and a credit to their commitment to accessibility.
Honour & Glory is also among London's most affordable at £5 for juniors and amateurs, £10 for recreational adults. Both clubs prioritise keeping boxing accessible.
Location and Access
Manor Park is about 40 minutes from Kidbrooke by car, through East London. Public transport involves a long journey. It's in a different part of London entirely.
Honour & Glory is in Kidbrooke, local to Blackheath, Eltham, Lee, and Greenwich.
The Verdict
Fairbairn is a fantastic community club with some of the lowest prices in London. If you're in Manor Park or Newham, it's an outstanding option. For SE Londoners, the distance is the issue. Honour & Glory offers more class variety (ages 5+, women's sessions), a modern venue, and a location that's genuinely local.
