The annual boat race between Oxford and Cambridge Universities was one of London's most important sporting fixtures. Additional Underground services were provided to cope with the influx of spectators, who would gather on every Thames bridge and riverbank. Travel to the event was mainly advertised on small panel posters inside Underground trains, but would occasionally appear on a full size poster. Rowing was also the subject of several posters promoting regattas in and around London.
