The Boat Race

Since 1829, after two friends thought up the idea.
Location: Chiswick Bridge, W4
Description: The Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race, which finishes near Chiswick Bridge, was first held in 1829, after two friends - one at Oxford and one at Cambridge - came up with the idea.
And so was born one of London's most famous sporting spectacles.
