Thames came third in the Stewards' Challenge Cup in 1852. Thames was one of several clubs on the Tideway including , Argonaut Club, St George's Club, Meteor Club and Petrel Club. In 1856 there was a move to combine these clubs into a single club that could compete successfully against the Oxford and Cambridge crews at Henley in the four and eight. To achieve this, the London Rowing Club was formed. In 1862, the City of London Boat Club decided to rename itself "Thames Rowing Club" and sought and gained the permission of Frank Playford, the only traceable member of "The Thames Club" at the time.
