RECOMMENDED VIEWPOINTS
Viewpoints are optional. If you would prefer to skip the viewpoints, you can board the vessel at any of the pier stops and enjoy the river cruise.
VIEW POINT 1: GREENWICH (Start Line)
Check with your runner where their start location is. Once you’ve seen your runner set off, head to Cutty Sark. Cutty Sark is a walkable distance from all the start zones. Plus, it’s one of the iconic sights on the marathon course and always has a party atmosphere. Warning: it will be very busy!
VIEW POINT 2: CUTTY SARK (Mile 6-7)
Once you’ve seen your runner pass Cutty Sark you can either:
1) Board the Sapphire of London at Greenwich Pier from 13:15. The boat will depart at 13:30!
OR
2) Walk through the Greenwich Foot tunnel to watch your runner at mile 16. After you’ve crossed the river, there will be a bit of a wait. This is a good opportunity to grab a drink enroute. We recommend the Lord Nelson Pub, 1 Manchester Rd, London E14 3BD.
VIEW POINT 3: WESTFERRY ROAD / MUDCHUTE (Mile 16)
Once you’ve seen your runner pass Westferry Road head to Masthouse Terrace Pier to board the Sapphire of London. The boat will depart at 14:00! See you there…don’t be late, the boat can’t wait!
VIEW POINT 4: THE MALL (FINISH LINE)
You can walk from Westminster Pier to The Mall. Runners finish on The Mall. The final stretch of the race sees runners turn right at Westminster on to Birdcage Walk, the road that runs alongside the south side of St James's Park.
