Welcome!
Come and paddle with us in Central London

Tower Hamlets Canoe Club is a canoe and kayaking club, welcoming beginners & experienced paddlers.

What we get up to

We paddle every Tuesday, run trips regularly all across the UK, and host regular socials.

Our club helps develop skills, build confidence & achieve success.

Our members work towards British Canoeing Paddle Awards and Personal Performance Awards in kayaks and canoes – both on Shadwell Basin and on the River Thames. We also run an induction programme for beginners once a month.

We regularly organise trips across the UK throughout the year, including our annual Christmas paddle on our home River Thames.
