This is where the Boat Race truly comes alive. Right in the heart of Hammersmith, you can sit at the most thrilling stretch of the Thames, the midpoint of the race, where tactics play out, crowds erupt, and the atmosphere turns electric. With the longest uninterrupted river view of any pub along the Thames, we offer more watch time, more anticipation, and more of those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments that define the day. Year after year, people return for the same reason: the view, the energy, the feeling of being right in the thick of it.
From early morning build-up to the final celebrations, our riverside fills with colour, cheers, and the buzz that only Oxford vs Cambridge Boat Race can bring. Out on the green, entertainment runs all afternoon. Pints are poured, spritz flows freely, wine glasses clink, and the countdown to kickoff builds with every passing minute. This isn’t just watching the race, this is experiencing it. If you’re doing Boat Race 2027 properly, you’re doing it here.
