We might have started this week with a cold, snowy outlook, but nothing more acts as a marker of spring in London than The Boat Race. As Oxford and Cambridge gear themselves to row down the Thames, why not look into what the other universities are doing by visiting the Bartlett or the RCA when they open their doors this week.
