Dated to your race, not week numbers
Your programme counts back from London. Miss a week and Sunday's rebuild absorbs it — the plan bends, the race date doesn't.

The race comes to Bermondsey. That means you can walk the venue beforehand, and it means the people you train beside will be on the same start list. A programme dated to that weekend is worth more than a generic twelve weeks.

Where you can train in Bermondsey.
Bermondsey has plenty of choice, which means you can be picky. The thing to look for is not a Hyrox sticker on the door, it is a sled lane long enough to push on, a spare wall for wall balls, and a rower nobody queues for at 6pm.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Bermondsey.
Where to train in Bermondsey
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Bermondsey. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have The Arch Climbing Wall: Building One, Crossfit Bermondsey and Canada Water Leisure Centre, the nearest of them about 0.4 km out. Ring before you join and ask two questions: is there floor space to push a sled, and can you throw a ball at a wall. Those answers decide more than any membership tier.
The Arch Climbing Wall: Building One and John Orwell Sports Centre are listed as sports centres rather than gyms. Multi-use sites are usually where the floor space is, which tends to be where the sled and carry work ends up happening.
Where to run around Bermondsey
You are well served for measured running around Bermondsey. 6 parkrun courses sit within reach: Southwark parkrun, Burgess parkrun and Mile End parkrun are the closest three, Southwark parkrun being about 0.8 km out. Use one as your fixed benchmark and run it in the same conditions each time, or the number tells you nothing.
All of them sit within about 5 km of each other, so you can rotate courses without the travel changing, which makes the times comparable.
Racing from Bermondsey
Bermondsey hosts a race, which is a bigger advantage than most people use. You can walk the venue, you will train alongside people on the same start list, and you have no travel to plan on the morning.
Having both a race and 6 measured 5 km courses on the doorstep is the combination that makes a season easy to plan: benchmark locally through the build, then race without travelling.
