About Limehouse Boxing Academy
Limehouse Boxing Academy is a grassroots boxing club based in Tower Hamlets, E14, East London. Described on their website as "a haven for young minds seeking focus, an arena for athletes aspiring to compete, and a space where the passion for the sport is matched by our commitment to bringing the best out of every individual," the club takes a genuine community-first approach.
The academy is involved in Tower Hamlets youth provision, delivering sessions for young people through schools, SEND programmes, and council partnerships. Their coaches have worked with mixed-ability groups and opened boxing up to young people who might not otherwise have access to it. This community involvement is a genuine strength.
They welcome individuals of all ages through their programme - from beginner classes for newcomers to advanced sessions for more experienced boxers looking to compete or improve. It's a committed grassroots setup that cares about the people it serves.
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
Limehouse offer beginner through to advanced sessions and work with young people across age groups, including SEND-friendly provision. Specific class times and structure are best confirmed directly with the club - their website offers information but booking details are limited.
Honour & Glory publishes a full timetable with dedicated sessions by age group, making it easy to find the right class before you visit. We cover infant boxing (from age 5), juniors, adults, women's-only sessions, and competitive amateurs. Personal training is available from £30/hour.

Location
This is where the comparison becomes straightforward for most South East Londoners. Limehouse is in Tower Hamlets, E14, on the north side of the Thames. Getting there from SE3 involves the Blackwall Tunnel - roughly 35 minutes by car, and significantly longer by public transport, which requires crossing the river.
For residents in Kidbrooke, Greenwich, Eltham, or Blackheath, commuting to Limehouse for regular boxing training is a real ask.
Honour & Glory is in Kidbrooke, minutes from Blackheath, Eltham, Lee, and Greenwich.
The Community Element
Both clubs share a genuine community focus. Limehouse's work with Tower Hamlets young people and SEND provision is commendable. Honour & Glory's home at the Samuel Montagu Youth Centre reflects a similar ethos - boxing as a force for good in the local community. We also run sessions from age 5, which means families can get involved early.
The Verdict
Limehouse Boxing Academy is a community-focused club doing important work in Tower Hamlets. For residents in E14 and the surrounding East London area, it's worth exploring directly.
For South East Londoners, the Thames crossing makes regular training impractical. Honour & Glory offers a broader structured programme (from age 5), dedicated women's sessions, transparent pay-as-you-go pricing from £5, and a location that actually makes weekly training achievable.
