Boxing Gym

The Shoreditch Boys Club is a new location in Black Monday. It was not featured in the original The Getaway game. In fact, the area it is located in was not even accessible in the first game. It is located in a new added on area in Shoreditch. It is interesting to know that it is based on a real life location, The All Stars Boxing Gym located at 576 Harrow Road, London. However, in the game, the name has been changed and it's location in Shoreditch is quite a distance from it's real world home.

It's interesting to note that just inside the front door there is a sign saying "WELCOME TO ALL-STARS BOXING YOUTH CLUB"
