(QBC) is a
rowing
club based at the
University of Westminster

River Thames

Quintin Hogg
, paid to have a boathouse built for it at Chiswick and also paid for a fleet of boats.

The club's first appearance at
Henley
was in 1920 and they participated at the first
Head of the River Race
in 1926.

Women were first admitted as members in 1999, and by 2009 formed about a quarter of the membership.
