Putney London

Many thanks to London Rowing Club for facilitating this camera's location. Established in 1870, The London Rowing Club stands as the first purpose-built venue on the Putney Embankment and one of the pioneering establishments in London. Serving as the longstanding home of the esteemed London Rowing Club, it has played host to numerous World and Olympic champions throughout its illustrious history. Over the years, the club has undergone various developments to accommodate the expanding membership and evolving needs of the facility. In 2019, we proudly unveiled the Peter Coni Gym, a cutting-edge fitness center equipped with state-of-the-art facilities to support the present and future athletes in achieving their utmost potential. In 2022, we embarked on a project to enhance the interior spaces of our boathouse, creating a fresh and luminous ambiance that beautifully captures the Victorian heritage of the building. Adorning the walls of the London Rowing Club are over 150 years of rowing excellence, providing a captivating backdrop for any event.In recognition of the club's Olympic triumphs, we are privileged to safeguard a piece of Team GB history—the gold medal-winning coxless four boat from the 1939 Berlin games. Positioned at the front of the boathouse, our balcony offers picturesque views of the River Thames, providing an idyllic setting for summer evenings spent observing crews training along the water.With its rich history and undeniable charm, London Rowing Club serves as an ideal venue for riverside weddings, corporate events, conferences, and special occasions. The River Thames holds a prominent status as one of Europe's major rowing rivers, hosting annual competitions such as the Henley Royal Regatta, The Boat Race, and the Head of the River races. Along the course of the river, purpose-built rowing facilities can be found, including Dorney Lake between Slough and Windsor, Berkshire, which served as a venue for the 2012 Summer Olympics and now serves as an international rowing lake of standard distance, hosting the three main annual entry regattas for Henley: Marlow (International), Wallingford, and Metropolitan. Other rowing lakes located near the Thames include the Redgrave Pinsent Rowing Lake between Reading and Henley, utilized by the Great Britain squad, and the Royal Albert Dock near North Woolwich, London.At London Rowing Club, we offer a unique blend of history, riverside allure, and exceptional facilities, making us the perfect choice for your next special event, corporate gathering, conference, or memorable celebration.
