Get ready to raise the roof when the crews are officially announced ahead of The Boat Race 2025.
Battersea Power Station, made from 6 million bricks and large enough to fit St Paul’s Cathedral inside without touching the sides, is the perfect place to bring together two rowing powerhouses to announce their crew members in one final face off before they next see each other at the start line on 13 April 2025.
The best bit?
Everyone is welcome!
We’re hosting a public event for fans, friends & family to join the alumni, VIPs and special guests to find out who has earned their place in a Blue Boat.
With activities starting on the ground floor of Turbine 
Hall B, visitors will be able to view the Boat Race trophies. At 6pm the BBC’s Andrew Cotter will host our crew announcement and we’ll hear more behind-the-scenes insight into how the clubs are progressing.
Home to over 150 shops, bars, restaurants and leisure venues, Battersea Power Station is the perfect place to meet after work to watch the crew announcement, enjoy some retail therapy and a bite to eat. Whether you’re an Oxford or Cambridge fan we know you’re going to make sure they feel your full support before they go into the final few days of training before The Boat Race 2025.
