London has one of the most active surfing communities in the world. It might sound odd, but there are tens of thousands of Londoners who take surfing very seriously. Let’s unveil the most popular surf breaks located approximately less than two hours away from English capital. They (still) don’t have a river surfing wave, but they have the London Surf Film Festival. They don’t have warm waters, but their London Surf Club is a classic institution running since 1981. Londoners surf; Londoners seek surf. You can’t always look at the dark side of life. Yes, London is rainy and foggy, but it has River Thames. And the City’s iconic water channel flows into the North Sea. Which means that, technically, you could grab a stand-up paddle board and ride roughly 40 miles (96 kilometers) towards the ocean.
