For the onlooker there is a very wide choice indeed as, at most weekends,
the river is a spectacle with racing eights, sailing boats and skiffs
from the various rowing and sailing clubs. The highlights of such activities
are undoubtedly the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race and the Head of the
River Race, both held in the Spring.
The White City Stadium stages national and international athletics,
and greyhound racing, whilst the Royal International Horse Show, (PatronH.M.
The Queen), and organised by the British Horse Society, is also held
there. Olympia attracts thousands to its well-known exhibitions and shows;
whilst the B.B.C. Television Centre in Wood Lane and Lime Grove Studios,
which provide entertainment for millions, are household names.
The Borough enjoys many sporting facilities, and includes the Association
Football grounds of Chelsea, Fulham and Queen's Park Rangers in its
area.
