The club was formed after the amalgamation of UCH Medical School and the Royal Free Medical School Boat Clubs in 1998.[3] The club has been rowing under various names, University College Hospital, Middlesex and Royal Free with United Hospitals Boat Club since it was formed in 1865. One of the first records of the club racing was 1885 when the Middlesex raced against the The London and Barts [4].
