BOAT RACE (OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE)
The Oxford and Cambridge boat race began in 1829 and was first held at Henley-on-Thames. The race was later moved to Westminster but boat racing still plays a part at Henley who now stage the Henley Royal Regatta. Today's home of the boat race is six miles up stream from Westminster at Putney and the race attracts huge crowds and media coverage. The Oxford and Cambridge boat race is also part of the social season and is attended by debutantes and society on the social circuit.
