London Corinthian Sailing Club (LCSC) is a premier sailing and social club based at Linden House on the riverfront at Hammersmith.
Founded in 1943, it offers a vibrant environment for river sailing on the Thames. The club is famous for its social atmosphere and its fleet of dinghies that navigate the challenging tidal reaches of West London. It provides an excellent base for urban watermen to practice handling skills against a backdrop of iconic London landmarks. For wingers, it's a technical urban spot requiring precise control in tidal currents.
