York Hall

Situated in Bethnal Green, York Hall is the home of British boxing. A historic landmark in Tower Hamlets, the leisure centre is housed in a magnificent neo-Georgian red brick building that was first opened in 1929.

Since then York Hall has become known internationally as home to some of the world’s most prestigious boxing matches.

The venue has recently undergone a £4.2m renovation programme that has restored the magnificent interiors and period features to their original glory, as well as bringing the training and leisure facilities completely up to date.

In addition to the main sports hall – which continues to host many top level boxing bouts every year – York Hall Leisure Centre now houses a 33m pool, a training pool, a state-of-the-art fitness centre and a studio, as well as a sauna, steam rooms and Turkish baths.

One competition boxing ring is permanently available at York Hall; up to three more training or competition rings, as well as all ancillary equipment, can be provided on request.
