The oldest building, now occupied by a rowing club, is Furnival Sculling Club at Hammersmith in London. Their boathouse started life as the Red Lion pub and is shown on maps dating from before 1840
I’m proud to belong to the oldest club in the US, Bachelors Barge Club, 1853, in Boathouse Row, Philadelphia, but Leander is one impressive club! So much history! Oooh yeah! Great tour! Hey, if you come to Philly stop by our club!
In the 90’s, right around the time Borat paid a visit to the HRR, I was a relief chef for a few days there. Don’t remember the kitchen being so extensive-but it must’ve been. It’s come a long way. Thanks for posting.

Ote that women were not allowed to row in the Olympics until 1976 and were not allowed to be members of Leander until 1998. The Sports Council gave Leander a grant for refurbishment in 1998 with the proviso that they have open membership. The gradual addition to women's racing at Henley Royal Regatta has its own slow history. So I was underwhelmed by all the old men's trophies.

That's awesome! I'll be sure to hit you guys up if I'm over that way!
Loved the tour - Can we do a tour of the sunglass tan next?
Might need a bit longer than 15 minutes!
Funny how that guy in the crewroom was watching you instead of olympics
Lovely video! Very interesting indeed to see how important history is for the Club and how proud they are of their victories
Didn’t know how massive the club is. So many rooms :O
Showed the ins and outs but there is still more!!
My god it i did that for my club it would take about 2 min bc to see the whole place.
Haha we are somewhere in the middle here in Heidelberg :D
thanks for the tour Cameron. Beautiful club
You’re welcome!

No, you can apply to row at the club and your application would be assessed on an individual basis!
