Lee Valley White Water Centre
Lee Valley White Water Centre (previously known as Broxbourne White Water Canoe Centre) is a white-water slalom center, that was constructed to host the canoe slalom events of the London 2012 Olympic Games. Now, it is open to the public for adrenalin-fuelled white-water rafting, canoeing, and kayaking sessions – riding the rapids that challenged the world's best makes for an action-packed experience. On the center's raft adventure, you'll be high-siding, spinning, and nose dunking on the Olympic Standard Competition course before you know it. In addition to rafting, the lake, Legacy course, and Olympic course are used for a number of kayaking activities catering to everyone from complete beginners to more proficient paddlers.
New activities include Hydrospeeding, which is similar to bodyboarding, or Hot Dog sessions, which are held on two-person inflatables and act as a good introduction to kayaking. Corporate and team building days out can be booked and, during the summer, the center hosts canoe polo as well as aquathlons. Those who prefer to sit back and watch the action should head for the licensed café bar, which has a terrace overlooking the course. All rafters must be over 14.
