About Regent’s
Regent’s is an active and friendly adult club based in Islington, London.
The club regularly organises beginner’s kayaking sessions and trips to white water rivers as well as the occasional trip to gentler flat water locations.
Weekly Canal Sessions
We paddle in Islington Basin and along Regents Canal on Monday and Thursday nights.
We run white water kayaking trips once a month (or more) through autumn and winter, as well as fortnightly pool sessions at the Britannia Leisure Center and various other social club activities.
Interested in joining?
We are accepting new members
We run New Members’ Evenings on the canal, too!
To ensure that we have enough volunteers at those sessions, new members need to preregister for these sessions. We only have a limited number of spaces available. Our website provides all the information about our club.
If you have any questions as to what our club offers please contact our membership officer at membership@regentscanoeclub.

Learn to Kayak
Our Progressive Kayaking Sessions are designed for adults (18+) who have little or no previous experience of paddling kayaks, but who want to learn to kayak on moving water.
Facilities
Boats, paddles and bouyancy aids are available for use on club night.
Members have free use of all equipment and facilities on club nights and can hire equipment for use outside of club hours.
Visiting the club
Non members can visit the club on New Members’ Evenings or as guests during a canal session.
New Members’ Evenings are the only way to join the club unless you join our White Water Kayaking Progressive Sessions for beginners, a series of sessions aimed at people who have never paddled before which we usually run in Spring / Summer.
