Barnes Bridge Ladies Rowing Club

About Us

Women-Led & Inclusive

Founded by women and run for women, we champion an inclusive, empowering atmosphere where every rower is valued and challenged.

Competitive Spirit

From local regattas to national races, our crews train hard and race harder. We compete across all levels – and celebrate every milestone.

Unbeatable Location
  • Right next to Barnes Bridge Station – trains to/from Clapham Junction and London Waterloo every 15 minutes
  • A short walk from Barnes Station – links to Richmond, Hounslow, and beyond
  • Served by local buses – including routes from Hammersmith, Putney, and Kingston
  • Bike-friendly with local cycling routes along the river
  • On-street parking available near the club

Our stretch on the Tideway offers a unique training ground with ever-changing conditions to sharpen your skills and build resilience. We can row in both directions – upstream towards Richmond or downstream towards Putney, depending on the tide.

Friendship & Community

More than just a rowing club, BBLRC is a tight-knit community of passionate athletes, coaches, and supporters. Expect teamwork, shared laughs, and lifelong friendships.
