We are meeting at the Container in the carpark (free at weekends, but a small charge during weekdays) at Disraeli Road, NW10 7AE. We are next to Beit el Zaytoun Restaurant in Park Royal, which is just a few minutes walk from Harlesden Station . So very easy to get to. We highly recommend Beit el Zaytoun, and there is also the Grand Junction Arms just across the canal for some post paddling refreshments.

This site is currently being developed in partnership with the Old Oak Common and Park Royal Development Corporation, and due to work being undertaken there maybe some disruption to sessions, for more information call 07951 770241 or email: sprint@thesharks.org.uk.

We provide lessons for beginners at this site as well as training for competitive paddlers in Sprint and Marathon, we have also used the site to develop Wild Water Racing paddlers. The whole area is part of a regeneration programme and as it develops so will the facilities we have to offer, so there will be plenty more opportunities for paddle sports. We can also run sessions for Schools and other organisations, such as Scouts, Cadet Groups etcetera. For more information email us: sprint@thesharks.org.uk or give us a call on 07951 770241.
