Question of the week: Do you have a favourite sport and/or team that you support in London? "Sports are not really my thing... I'm stretching a little bit, but how about the Oxford v. Cambridge boat race
Nearly every year since 1829 Oxford and Cambridge have raced down the Thames for glory and bragging rights - and it's one of the biggest sporting events in London. Thousands of people gather along the banks of the Thames to wait, watch the boats go past, and have a great time with other fans in a fun, festival-like atmosphere.
It's a shame that the boat race takes place in March, so if you're in London now, you'll have to come back for the fun... But if you're reading this and you'll be around on 26 March, I'd certainly recommend that you join the fun! For more info see http://www.theboatrace.org/" - Kris
