Tower Hamlets Canoe Club

Tower Hamlets Canoe Club Tower Hamlets Canoe Club is a canoe & kayaking club located in central London at Shadwell Basin, nr Wapping. We paddle every Tuesday evening 18:15-21:00.

We have club evenings every Tuesday throughout the year (rain or shine) where both experienced and new members practice their paddling. We also play canoe polo, practice white water playboating, sea kayaking and open canoeing. The club runs a number of trips throughout the year in the UK and abroad which are organised by club members and discussed through our various website forums. We provide training to work towards BCU 1 star, 2 star and 3 star awards in kayaks and canoes - either on Shadwell Basin, on the River Thames or in a nearby indoor swimming pool. We normally run a course for beginners once a month. See the Joining page for more information. The club was formally set up back in 1984, although people had been getting together informally to paddle at Shadwell Basin from the 1970's.

Big thanks to all who took part in and donated to our Throwline Olympics. We had fun practising throwing techniques and lots of silly games, whilst raising money for TowerRNLI Lifeboat Station Appeal, and Shadwell Basin Outdoor Activity Centre. Many thanks to Above & Below outdoor equipment shop for helping to make our event so successful and fun by very kindly donating prizes.

For some paddlers it was their first time and an introduction to tiderace fun.
