Arrival Day
Depending on the length of stay you have booked with us you might arrive on Friday 4 April or Saturday 5 April and depart on either Sunday 6 April or Monday 7 April (or later if you decide to add extra nights on to explore the area)
London has plenty to offer when it comes to things to see and do. Our accommodation is in the heart of London and gives you access to central London sights and good transport links to the start and finish of the half marathon.
Race Day
The London Landmarks Half Marathon 2025 starts by Pall Mall and finishes near to Downing Street. The event starts at around 09:20am; runners will start after this time in specific waves, as to avoid congestion at the beginning of the race.
How to get there
We recommend travelling to the start and back from the finish on foot or by using public transport. We strongly discourage driving to the event due to the extensive road closures which will be operating along the route. Please refer to the London Landmarks website for more information on how to get there.
The start of the London Landmarks Half Marathon 2025 is located near Pall Mall, easily accessible via the London Underground. The closest stations include Charing Cross, Piccadilly Circus, and Green Park. If you’re arriving by rail, nearby stations like Waterloo and London Victoria also provide convenient access.
Please note that we do not recommend spectators gather at the Start Line, as it can be very crowded with limited views. Instead, we suggest heading to the city centre for the best vantage points and to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere with thousands of other spectators.
After the race, take some time to celebrate—you’ve earned it!
Safe travels, and we hope you enjoyed your London Landmarks Half Marathon 2025 experience!
