SUP is a gateway to exploring beautiful landscapes and making new friends in the paddling community. ### Is London a good place to paddleboard?

Paddleboarding in London combines the thrill of adventure, exercise, and the tranquility of being close to nature, right in the heart of an urban metropolis. As you glide on the waterways, you'll experience iconic landmarks from a new vantage point, discover hidden gems, and enjoy the diverse wildlife. London's waterways are quieter and less crowded than its bustling streets, making it an oasis for paddleboarding.

You will receive confirmation via email and be able to talk to the centre if you have any further questions/special requests. ### How can I prepare for the SUP session? No preparation is needed but dress appropriately for the weather, bring a change of clothes and footwear to wear on water. We advise checking the weather forecast before your session and dressing appropriately based on the weather conditions on the day - taking wind and rain factors into account. ### What should I bring with me? Shoes you will wear on a SUP (depending on the time of year) Spare clothes and a towel (in case you fall in and need to shower) Sun protection (sunscreen and sun hat) Retainer for your glasses Refillable water bottle (you can top up at the arches) Dry bag if you are planning to take things with you on water, including waterproof phone case. We have some dry bags and phone cases for sale on-site. ### What should I wear? During the warm weather, the essentials for your SUP session include quick-drying sportswear or gymwear. This could be short or long-sleeved tops, leggings, shorts, or quick-drying trousers. Avoid heavy cotton or denim, as these can hold moisture and make you feel cold quickly when wet. For footwear, neoprene water shoes are optimal. If you don't have these, don't fret. Flat-soled trainers, Converse, or hiking sandals with heel straps work fine for your first few sessions, as long as you don't mind them getting wet or muddy. Stay clear of flip-flops - they easily fall off, and you risk tripping and injuring yourself. The river banks can be sharp and muddy, so it's best to avoid going barefoot. We sell neoprene socks at competitive prices (£15-£20) which can be worn with your trainers. We also offer lightweight neoprene shoes and some more technical boots, although not all sizes are available. A light windproof or waterproof jacket is handy if you think you might get chilly, along with a spare top or jumper to put on after exercise to keep cosy. As the weather gets colder, a light windproof or waterproof jacket and thermal top are highly recommended. In very cold weather, we suggest wearing light thermals, wetsuits, and a woolly hat, as we lose a lot of heat from our heads. We do provide wetsuits for our sessions, which can be worn over a base layer and pair of leggings. Footwear becomes crucial in cold weather, as your feet can get chilly! We recommend neoprene shoes, boots,… ### How can I get to the meeting point? Kew is easy to access by public transport, car or along the Thames path on foot or bike.
