Chiswick Pier Canoe Club is a friendly canoeing and kayaking club on the tidal Thames in West London. Established in 1999, we’re around 60 members strong, meeting for regular Sunday paddles, midweek outings, and the odd adventure further afield, all just a few strokes from Chiswick Pier.
Coaching & skills
Whether you’re picking up a paddle for the first time or already have miles under your belt, our qualified coaches are on hand to help you build your skills, grow your confidence, and get the most out of the river. Our canoe and kayak sessions cover everything from calm-water paddling to sea kayaking and whitewater trips, so there’s always something new to try.
Join Us
We welcome paddlers of all backgrounds and abilities — the only must-have is that you’re a confident swimmer. Sessions are aimed at adults and teenagers aged 14 and up (with a parent or guardian on hand), since the tidal Thames calls for a bit more experience and caution than your average lake.
Find out how to join us what we offer on our sessions page.
The club has been helped and supported by Chiswick Pier Trust, Sports England, Paddle UK, Hounslow Council and the Port of London Authority.
