Royal Free and University College Medical School Boat Club is the rowing club for UCL Medical School, part of the University of London.[1] The boat club is commonly referred to by its acronym; RUMSBC. RUMSBC row out of the University of London Boat Club boat house which is situated on the River Thames in Chiswick, London, United Kingdom. The club's official ARA registered colours are yellow and sky blue.[2]

They have recently had a very successful year winning more United Hospitals medals than any other London medical school.

RUMSBC is a large university club with nearly 100 members forming 7 racing crews. This has been made possible due to continued sponsorship from Mayday Healthcare Plc which has made the purchase of a brand new Hudson Boatworks Predator 8 and a Coxed 4.
