Leander Club

Water and Boat Sports

Leander Club is one of the oldest rowing clubs in the world, founded in 1818 and based at Henley-on-Thames, England, closely associated with the Henley Royal Regatta held on the same stretch of river. The club has produced generations of Olympic and World Championship rowers representing Great Britain, and its distinctive pink kit and long, continuous history make it one of the most prestigious rowing clubs in the sport, historically influential on the development of rowing as an organized amateur sport.
