Training in Lower Clapton
Boxing and studios, with the Lea close by.
Lower Clapton trains in small rooms. Sweeney's Boxing covers the ring, Kuu London and Om Being are studios, Privé Pilates is a women-only Pilates studio, and Hackney Downs has tennis courts. Kings Hall Leisure Centre closed in December 2025 for a rebuild and is due back in early 2029, so for a pool use Clissold Leisure Centre or London Fields Lido for now.
Millfields Park, which holds a Green Flag Award, borders the River Lea, and 16-hectare Hackney Downs is the other big open space. Clapton on the Overground's Weaver line and Hackney Downs are the stations for a training partner heading over.
