South Bank, Tower & Square Mile

The London City Run

River landmarks and two thousand years of City history in one private guided loop.

🏃 ~10km⏱ 75–90 minutes📍 Trafalgar Square loop

Overview

See London unfold from both sides of the Thames. From Trafalgar Square we run through Westminster, cross to the South Bank and follow the river east through a continuous procession of theatres, markets, bridges and skyline views.

After Tower Bridge, the route enters the Square Mile — London's historic financial heart — passing the Tower of London, Monument, Bank and the Royal Exchange before reaching St Paul's. Fleet Street and the Strand complete the return to Trafalgar Square. Your guide adapts the pace and makes time for stories and photographs.
