The annual University Boat Race on the River Thames in London goes past which football stadium?

The stretch of the River Thames between Mortlake and Putney in London, England is a well-established course for rowing races, particularly the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race. It is often referred to as The Championship Course. The course is on the tidal reaches of the river often referred to as the Tideway. Due to the iconic shape of the Championship Course, in orthopaedic surgery, an "S" shaped incision along the crease of the elbow is commonly referred to as "a boat-race incision resembling the River Thames from Putney to Mortlake."

The course passes the stadium of Fulham Football Club. The stadium is known as Craven Cottage and the boat crews stay wide round the bend as the area in front of the ground is shallow, with slack water which would slow them down.

Craven Cottage is a football stadium located in Fulham, West London. It has been the home ground of Championship club Fulham since 1896. The ground's capacity is now 19,359, which happened with the closure of the Riverside Stand for redevelopment in the close season of 2019. The record attendance is 49,335, for a game against Millwall, 8 October 1938. Located next to Bishop's Park on the banks of the River Thames, 'Craven Cottage' was originally a royal hunting lodge and has a history dating back over 300 years.
