Longbridges Boathouse

HCBC shares Longbridges Boathouse with four other Oxford colleges – St Catherine’s, Mansfield, Green Templeton, St Hilda’s. Our own newly refurbished club room offers a great space for both socialising and training. On a regular basis we use it for club strength and conditioning sessions.  It transforms into a great socialising space, with two large sets of double doors out onto the balcony, offering a great spot for watching racing on the Isis.

The boathouse also offers changing facilities for men and women, a hot shower, and a kitchen.

Radley College Boathouse

HCBC rents a rack at the Radley College Boathouse, which is two locks downstream of the Isis.  Our men’s and women’s 1st VIIIs can train here, making the most of a longer, quieter stretch of the Thames.
