Located in Hertfordshire, just outside London, Lee Valley White Water Centre is an exciting and action-packed destination for adventure seekers of all ages. The site was originally built for the 2012 London Olympic Games, but now this incredible venue offers a unique opportunity to experience the thrill of white-water sports in a safe environment.

Things to do at Lee Valley White Water Centre

The main attraction at Lee Valley White Water Centre is, of course, white-water rafting. Racing down the purpose-built Olympic-standard course is an adrenaline-filled experience that delivers excitement from start to finish. For those looking to further develop their skills, kayaking and canoeing sessions let you navigate waters with confidence and control.

If you’re keen to try something a little different, hydrospeeding (also known as white-water swimming) is a fun, up-close experience of the rapids, while tubing provides a more relaxed but equally fun way to enjoy the course.

Beginners or younger visitors can also enjoy the water with introductory courses available in calmer waters.

If you’re visiting as a group, you can enjoy plenty of laughter, friendly competition and make unforgettable memories in Water Wipeout. This is a floating obstacle course on the lake, and the aim is to complete it as quickly as possible by leaping over obstacles, squeezing through challenges and keeping your balance.
