About Eton Dorney Rowing Centre
Eton Dorney Rowing Centre is set in a 400-acre park with a nature conservation area and is located about 25 miles west of London near Windsor Castle.
This venue will host the rowing and canoe sprint events, which will take place on an eight-lane rowing course with a separate return lane constructed to international standards.
The existing facilities here were expanded and 20,000 seats were placed for the Olympics. Construction kicked off in October 2009 and several additions like a new bridge over the lake and widening of access roads were made. This venue will also be home to close to 3500 personnel during the Games.
