Welcome to LEANDER CLUB
The home of Olympic rowing champions – and Henley’s most iconic riverside venue.
Founded in 1818, Leander Club has earned 159 Olympic and Paralympic medals and built a private members’ community grounded in excellence.
Our boutique bedrooms are open to all, with dining reserved for members and overnight guests. Leander’s historic clubhouse offers a standout setting for weddings, celebrations and corporate events.

Athletes from across the UK come to Leander with one ambition: to be selected to race for Team GB. Powered by our members, events, sponsors and donors, we run a high‑performance pathway that delivers world‑class coaching, equipment, nutrition and medical support. At Paris 2024, Leander athletes brought home 21 Olympic and Paralympic medals. We’ve medalled at every Games since 1984 and continue to lead GB crews at European, World Cup and World Championship level – building oarsmanship, fellowship and champions.
