The Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race is bearing down upon us once again. Crews of long, slim people will race long, slim boats down the Thames and the eyes of the world will again be on the stunning riverside properties between Putney and the finish line at Chiswick Bridge.
As is traditional on the Foxtons Blog, we've gathered up a selection of stunning riverside apartments and houses to celebrate this annual boating treat. The 2018 hoard includes properties close to the historic 6.8km route as well as other options away from the placid banks of West London. Oh, and a rooftop riverside hot tub.
