For supporters or alumni of Oxford University, this is the place to gather, although Light Blue supporters are welcome too.
Open from 1100-1700, the Fulham Fan Zone is one of the best places to watch The Boat Race and is devoted to fun for all the family, for FREE!
Fulham Pier is London’s exciting new riverside destination. There will be something for everyone. Fans are welcome to take their food and drink out into the Grade II listed Bishops Park to enjoy the al-fresco seating and enjoy the race on the giant screen.
If you’re an Oxford alumnus or alumna, make sure you pop by the Oxford University stand where you can pick up an Oxford flag and pin badge, ready to support the Dark Blue crews.
