London Corinthian Sailing Club

In 1894 LCSC was established by a group of sailing enthusiasts who launched their boats from Bell Steps, beside the Black Lion pub and close to the Hammersmith and Chiswick border (giving the club the Black Lion ensignia). In the early years the members were all men and used to meet at each other's homes to discuss sailing matters.

Joining LCSC is very easy - we are a very welcoming club and do not have any set criteria for membership, just an interest in sailing! Please join us for the 1st Tuesday* of the month for our New Member Club Night. A good time to arrive is after 7:30pm. Our membership secretary will host a short presentation on what the club has to offer, followed by a Q & A session.

London Corinthian Sailing Club have very active yacht and dinghy sailors - with many members doing both! A lively programme of events runs year-round. Dinghies have been raced on the River Thames at Hammersmith since 1894. We sail every weekend all through the year, racing on the reach that extends for two-and-a-half miles between the bridges at Hammersmith and Barnes.

LCSC is an RYA Recognised Training Centre. Through the club there is access to a programme of yacht theory and practical courses, as well as dinghy training such as RYA Level 1 and 2 courses, plus powerboat and safety boat courses. Outside RYA Accredited Courses, LCSC also organises a number of crew skills development courses and weekends throughout the year.

If you are coming on foot from Ravenscourt Park Station make your way to Rivercourt Road. This will lead you to the A4. You will need to get on the other side of the A4 and in order to do so you please use the underpass which will be found by walking all the way to the end of Rivercourt Road and then turning left.
