Travel in Style to the Oxford & Cambridge Boat Race (Apr-2026)

Few sporting traditions capture the spirit of British heritage quite like the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race. Dating back to 1829, this iconic contest between the two historic universities has become one of the most celebrated rowing events in the world. Each year, thousands of spectators gather along the banks of the River Thames to witness the intense rivalry as the two crews battle over the famous Championship Course.

The race itself takes place along the historic Championship Course on the River Thames, stretching just over four miles between Putney Bridge and Mortlake.
