“Did anyone bring their life vest?” The question, asked with a playful grin, usually gets a chuckle here at the Boathouse. Barn Elms Boathouse to be precise. This place, nestled on the River Thames’ banks, has been teaching Londoners to row since 1967. And yes, it’s the same Boathouse you might recognize from the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race. Don’t worry though, you don’t need to be a seasoned rower to enjoy the Boathouse. They welcome everyone, from nervous beginners dipping their toes in the water for the first time, to those who can practically steer with their eyes closed. They’ve got junior courses for the kids, adult sessions, even holiday rowing camps. And for those bitten by the rowing bug? There’s recreational membership, granting you the freedom of the Thames in a scull. Just remember, they mainly focus on sculling here, two oars per person. So channel your inner Olympian, grab your oars and get ready to experience the Thames like never before.
