Welcoming everyone of all ages, backgrounds and experiences.
Established in 1897, Thames Tradesmen’s Rowing Club has an impressive and unique history, with a reputation for producing some of the finest international and club oarsmen of the last 50 years.
Thames Tradesmen is a friendly, open club that accepts all abilities and is always open to new members.
Year-round programs for youth, Veterans, and athletes of all abilities.
We’ve got something for everyone.
The club continues to stand firmly against social barriers and has inducted and enhanced the fitness and technical ability of rowers including international-standard oarsmen since the 1960s.
The club’s leaders over decades of the 20th century won its successful campaign with Poplar Blackwall and District Rowing Club and other NARA clubs – most of which were from the industrial heartlands of Britain – for non-exclusivity in rowing events and national teams, as evidenced in Rowing in England: A Social History. TTRC has one of the strongest records of openness and widening of participation.
