The Boat Race
Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race
An annual tradition since 1829, the rowing race between two of
Britain's oldest university sides creates a festival atmosphere
along the banks of the Thames River between Putney and Mortlake.
Thousands of people gather at various vantage points along the
riverbank, many of them conveniently close to pubs, to watch the
famous four-and-a-quarter mile race that marks the beginning of the
English social season.
Venue: Thames River from Putney Bridge to Chiswick Bridge
Date: 3 April 2010
