Running/ Walking Groups in London

London is a culture-loving, vibrant capital where you’ll find plenty of places to stretch your legs. For more information, visit Get Active

Before you get started, here are three of our favourite spots to power through on foot.

Regent’s Park and Primrose Hill: Regent’s Park has one of the most pleasant inner-city runs in London, with running tracks covering about five kilometres of parkland. You can also add on a loop of nearby Primrose Hill for a more intense workout. The latter can be very steep, but the views of the city from the top are spectacular. 

Thames Run: This is a simple route that takes in the River Thames and plenty of London’s incredible landmarks along the way, including Tate Britain, the Houses of Parliament and Somerset House. Starting from Battersea Power Station, cross onto the north side of the river and follow it until you get to the Tower of London. Head across Tower Bridge and come back on the south side of the river. You can end back in Battersea Park, or venture a little futher into leafy Putney if you want to make your run slightly longer. 

Diana Memorial: This is a figure-of-eight course that takes in many of central London’s green spaces, including Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, Green Park and St James Park. You’ll be running between Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace, and then back again – a route fit for royalty. 

Refuel After The Run!

A host of restaurants and bars will no doubt be serving free food and drink to triumphant who complete the London Marathon. The perfect excuse to replenish your energy stores and tuck into some seriously mouthwatering dishes.
