Rowing at London/UCL?

Well I was up at Worchester rowing today and I saw a University of London and crew and realised although I want to be off to UCL, I didnt know how rowing worked there. Does everyone row for an overall London club, or are there seperate college crews?

I'm a lightweight, and only just pull below 7:00 on a 2km ergo, so obviously i wouldnt be looking to get into the really serious crews, but what kind of stuff is out there?

Cheers in advance for anything you can tell me!

Yeah I'm really interested in rowing aswell.

How should one proceed with such interest at UCL?

There is a rowing club... and you join it... I don't know details but they row all on the Thames near the 'usual' boathouses in Putney/Hammersmith area.

I can understand you wanting to keep up a hobby,I am eager to know if there's a horse riding club or team.

PS Dann I love the picture in your profile.

Apparently, there is. Though I have zero idea as to what they do... and there are loads of non-uni horse riding things around just in case... bit of a specialist thing though and London isn't fantastically accomodating of it, in general, either...

When you join UCL, you can join UCL(W)BC (or RUMSBC is you're a medic.) Univeristy of London (UL) is the cream of the crop (GB rowers etc) and is selective whereas anyone can join UCLBC, (obviously to do well & race you need to be committed and be reasonably good.) Join - it's brilliant (particularly the social side.)
