Hammersmith Head

A spring head race on the Thames Tideway, from Chiswick Bridge to Hammersmith Bridge.

The organizer describes Hammersmith Head as an annual spring race on a closed section of the Thames between Chiswick and Hammersmith Bridges, approximately 2¾ miles. Its current page schedules the next race for 28 February 2027 with a 10:00 start and lists selected open, women’s and junior events in eights, fours and quads. The organizer identifies river-bank and bridge vantage points for spectators, with the host club bar open to spectators and food and refreshments for sale. Its spectator page gives a bridge-viewing restriction “this year” without identifying the year.
