Leander Club
Tokyo Olympics
Leander is acknowledged as the most successful Olympic sports club in the world.
As it approaches its Bicentenary in 2018, the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 and beyond, Leander looks forward to continuing its development, including new outreach and legacy commitments. In partnership with World Rowing, Leander will help to raise the sport’s profile and accessibility internationally.
In August 2018 some of Leander’s GB athletes will row 900 km down the Kafui River in Zambia to help World Rowing raise the profile of the sport in sub-Saharan Africa. In 2018, Leander will also commemorate and celebrate its Bicentenary with a range of events and activities both in Henley-on-Thames and at prestigious venues in London. In 2020 we expect to once again deliver approximately half of Team GB at the Tokyo Olympics.

Corporate
Companies engage with Leander for a variety of reasons. Apart from sponsorship and brand alignment, we organise events to engage customers, executive teams and employees in innovative and often prestigious ways.
Adjacent to the Stewards’ Enclosure, Henley Royal Regatta guests at Leander enjoy excellent hospitality at what some would call the spiritual home of world rowing. From April – October our athletes deliver corporate rowing activities and performance-related talks or workshops, designed to motivate and inspire executive teams.
But Leander is more than an elite performance rowing club. In addition, the club is an impressive venue full of rowing memorabilia, with excellent facilities for formal meetings, seminars and workshops. It also has 11 comfortable 4* rowing-themed bedrooms. Where better to inspire your corporate guests or delegates than on the Thames at the world’s most successful Olympic sports club?!
