London Rowing Club

London wins the Vernon! 🏆 14 years since we last walked away with the trophy for fastest club, and in our highest finish since 1998, the Head of the River was a great success. This kind of speed comes from a deep and committed squad, and the results of all our seven squad eights racing affirms this. A successful end to our head season, as attention turns towards the Summer. Thank you to all our coaches, committee members, supporters, family and more for making this happen.

Behind the scenes on race day 🎬

Back in business 🔒 London reclaimed the top spot at Hammersmith Head yesterday with a clear win in Open Championship 8+ to officially start the racing season in 2026. The club also came away with strong results across Men’s and Women’s Masters eights and other squad crews. Great to return to racing on the Tideway, thanks to all umpires and volunteers!
