The race comes to Forest Hill. 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.
Straight-line distance from the centre of Forest Hill to the venue. The date follows the venue's annual cadence rather than a confirmed listing, so check the official Hyrox calendar before booking.

Where you can train in Forest Hill.
Forest Hill 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 training in Forest Hill actually involves.
Where to train in Forest Hill
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Forest Hill. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have King's College London Honor Oak Park Sports Ground, Club House and Energie, the nearest of them about 0.6 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.
King's College London Honor Oak Park Sports Ground and Club House 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 Forest Hill
You are well served for measured running around Forest Hill. 8 parkrun courses sit within reach: Peckham Rye parkrun, Hilly Fields parkrun and Catford parkrun are the closest three, Peckham Rye parkrun being about 1.7 km out. Use one as your fixed benchmark and run it in the same conditions each time, or the number tells you nothing.
A Hyrox is eight kilometre runs with a station between each, which means the skill being tested is running on tired legs, not running fresh. Do at least one session a week where the running comes after the hard work rather than before it.
