Founded in the heart of London in 1960 by former boxer Bernard Hart, Lonsdale is named after Hugh Lowther, the 5th Earl of Lonsdale who instituted the first organised boxing matches with gloves in 1891. Initially gaining popularity due to its prime location near the fashion-heavy Carnaby Street in the 1960s, Lonsdale's reach now spans globally after expanding to mainland Europe and Australia. While the brand is primarily known for its sporting footwear and clothing, the influence of Lonsdale extends far beyond the ring, with its garments featuring in the wardrobes of acclaimed public figures.

Despite facing controversy in the early 2000s over unintended associations with far-right groups, Lonsdale promptly took a strong stand against such associations, sponsoring anti-racist campaigns and refusing to supply to known far-right retailers. Now owned by the Frasers Group, Lonsdale continues to command the respect of sporting enthusiasts worldwide, while holding fast to its roots in boxing and mixed martial arts.

When to visit Lonsdale

If you're planning a visit to Point Lonsdale, the gateway to Lonsdale's rich history, the weather is most favourable in early to mid-February when temperatures hover around a comfortable 26.3°C. Rainfall is least likely from January to March, thus making these months ideal for outdoor explorations. With high humidity levels in June receding by January, the start of the year offers a pleasant, less muggy atmosphere. Be prepared for a little gustiness, however, as January is also the windiest month, followed by February and August. But don't worry, snow is a no-show at Point Lonsdale, ensuring your visit remains unhindered. So, pack your bags for a unique journey exploring Lonsdale's variety and heritage, set against the backdrop of ideal weather.
