About

Barn Elms Boathouse is a unique rowing facility on the banks of the River Thames in Southwest London – you may recognise us from the annual Oxford v. Cambridge Boat Race. We offer plenty of rowing opportunities for adults and children aged 11+*.

All abilities are welcome, from complete beginners, to experienced scullers, with no membership commitments! Join us for a Learn to Row course with our friendly, experienced coaches and we guarantee you’ll be hooked!

For experienced adult rowers (18+) we also offer a recreational membership: for only £34 per month you will be able to take out a boat and row for as long as you like during daylight hours. As this is unsupervised, recreational membership is currently limited to adults who have completed our Tideway navigation test and confirmed to be a competent sculler by one of our coaches.
