rdf:langString University of London Boat Club (ULBC or UL) is the rowing club for the University of London. Its membership is popularly and regularly competed for, among students of all of its constituent colleges who row and/or scull. ULBC is consistently one of Britain's top 8 most successful clubs among adults, with a powerful alumni network. As with other collegiate universities, many of the University of London's colleges have their own boat clubs. Members of those, many of which share the premises, can trial for a place in the squad of this (combined) club to compete at an elite level. Many or most student athletes who are welcomed to join the club do so with prior experience at such level. The club has its boathouse on the Thames in the west of Chiswick, London, UK. Its rowers follow a coaching regime which is a designated High-Performance Programme meeting the national squad's standards which has assisted many of its most elite performers onto the U23 and Senior GB Rowing Teams. The club has trained an unbroken succession of members reaching such standards during or shortly after their membership – most notably, competing at every Olympic Games since 1960. It has more Henley Royal Regatta finals-day wins than any other British university – and has likewise continued to return home in every year with multiple-knockout cup victories from Henley Women's Regatta since 2002.
