“….BUT NONE AS STYLISH”

When planning permission was being sought for the new balcony, The Putney Society wrote in support as follows:

“As is noted in the supporting documentation, the need to replace the existing balcony provides the opportunity to replace with a balcony that is more appropriate to the building. The accompanying historical photos show that this carefully researched proposal will indeed be more appropriate and will enhance the original of the rowing clubs here, which are such an asset to Putney. We note that several of the other boathouses have been allowed new or replacement balconies in recent years, but none as stylish.“

Now a reality, it is indeed the finest balcony on the Embankment, entirely appropriate to our historic clubhouse and with the very best views of the river. A very very big thank you to Stuart Forbes and his architectural practice for their absolutely brilliant design that reflects the very first balcony at the club and to Alex Fothergill and Fothergill for their structural advice. 

Please come and cheer on our crews from the new balcony and if you feel able to donate towards its cost, that would be wonderful.
