Undoubtedly one of the largest and most prestigious summer sporting events, the Henley Royal Regatta gets ready to play host to thousands of guests from all over the world.

 

One of the leading highlights of the English sporting calendar and social season, the annual rowing competition this year takes place between Wednesday 27 June  Sunday 1 July in the historical riverside town, Henley-on-Thames, South Oxfordshire.

 

Running along London’s iconic River Thames  the longest river in the UK, and where Her Majesty The Queen recently held her celebratory Diamond Jubilee Pageant, the Regatta expects thousands of visitors over the five days.

 

An equal favourite amongst boat enthusiasts or those who wish to indulge in England’s picturesque scenery, the Henley Regatta is the best known in the world, attracting competition entries of an international and Olympic quality.

 

2012 has seen a record number of overseas crews enter the races, and with 21 international nations represented, including the United States, New Zealand, South Africa and Norway, it is the second highest in Regatta history.

 

With 200 boat races and 20 events to look forward to, spectators will be delighted at this wonderful experience; and Home from Home want you to further enjoy your stay in one of our stylish and modern city apartments.
