www.itv.comHere’s the latest I can share about the London Landmarks Half Marathon route.
- The route consistently showcases central London highlights, starting near Downing Street with a finish close to Trafalgar Square, and typically includes landmarks such as Big Ben, Westminster, the London Eye, St Paul’s Cathedral, and the Tower of London.[3][6][7]
- In recent years there have been occasional route adjustments or short reconfigurations due to events or incidents, including a notable temporary change that shortened the course by around 700 meters in 2025, and a brief start delay while crews reconfigured the route.[2]
- Race organizers emphasize accessibility and the dual-city nature (City of London and City of Westminster), with the event raising funds for Tommy’s and other charities. The course is a closed road setup designed for a prairie-to-sightseeing experience through central London.[4][5][7]
Illustration of typical start/finish and key sights:
- Start: Pall Mall area near the City of Westminster, early miles pass Nelson’s Column, then proceed past major landmarks.
- Finish: Near Downing Street/Trafalgar Square area after looping through central London.[6][3]
