London
Regatta Centre
This Centre, opened in 1999, occupies the north-west
corner of the Royal Albert Dock, just to the east of the Connaught Crossing.
It is the base for the rowing activities organised by the Royal Albert
Dock Trust. The Centre boasts an Olympic standard 2000m rowing course
- the only such facility in south-east England and one of only three throughout
the country. The Centre is also home to a very good Chinese restaurant
and a firness centre both of which help with the cost of running the centre.
