Tower Bridge

Totally iconic bridge, both as a London landmark and for runners in the London Marathon, Tower Bridge was opened in 1894 after eight years of construction. The two spans of the bridge can be raised to allow boats to pass underneath.

Running across the bridge is an amazing experience, especially if you get up early or run late so that it's a bit quieter and you're lucky enough to catch a sunrise or sunset. Running on marathon day is even better - the bridge is at mile twelve so you're almost halfway. It's also a handy place to cross the Thames so you can link up the paths on each side and run a fun loop of London landmarks.

The most beautiful at sunrise

Absolutely stunning place. Run on morning to avoid crowd. It’s difficult to run after 9 o clock because of crowd.
