London Rowing Club
London Rowing Club was founded in 1856, for the purpose of winning medals at Henley Royal Regatta. This is a tradition that continues to this day, most recently with London winning the Thames Cup in 2006. Since 2004 London has also run a small, but very successful, women's squad consisting predominantly of lightweight scullers.
