London Rowing Club

What a day to be a London woman! 🥇🥇🥇

15 purple boxes and 3 wins; the most of any club at Henley Women’s Regatta 💥 A historic weekend started strong with all crews progressing through their time trials and getting through their first round. 🎟️ Some close racing left three crews remaining for Sunday’s finals:

🏆 The Championship Lightweight 2x won the Halsam Trophy by 2 lengths over Reading University Boat Club.

🏆 The Aspirational Club 8+ won the Copas Cup by 2 lengths over Molesey Boat Club, while also setting a new record of 4:44.1 in their Semi Final vs Tyne Rowing Club.

🏆 The Aspirational Club 4x won the inaugural Chairman’s Trophy by 2 lengths over Marlow Rowing Club.

In 2024 the club won its first ever Henley Women’s Regatta event, and two years later we have quadrupled our total. These results across a variety of disciplines showcases the immense work and commitment that runs through the entire squad. A huge thank you to all the coaches, supporters, club members, friends and family for their parts in a historic weekend! Watch this space.

Henley Women’s Regatta

📣 History made at MET! 📣

For the first time in club history, the women’s squad took home the win in the Cb 8+ on Saturday at MET. They followed it up with another win on Sunday in the same category.

🏆🏆 Other notable results included wins on both days in the open Cb 8+ and Cb 4+, as well as a win on Saturday in the open Cb 4-. Amongst these wins we had a strong showing across the whole squad, after a busy few weeks on training camp.

Thank you, to for an amazing weekend of racing, bring on the rest of regatta season. 💪💪

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!
