Although only 10km, this tour covers a long list of well-known attractions – it’s the perfect way to get the most out of your stay in London!
Starting at Trafalgar Square, we will make our way down Whitehall, home to the official residences of the Prime Minister at Downing Street and a number of government departments and ministries. At the end of the street, we will make a stop at Westminster to see the iconic Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, and the Houses of Parliament.
Crossing over Westminster Bridge, you will get a great view of both sides of the river, and an amazing perspective on the London Eye. We will then make our way down the riverside route, seeing landmarks on the South side of the river – including the National Theatre, Tate Modern, Shakespeare’s Globe, Borough Market, and City Hall.
We will cross back over to the North side of the river on Tower Bridge, a stunning and iconic city site. Once across, we will make stops at the Tower of London and St. Paul’s Cathedral before we make our way along the river back to Trafalgar Square.
Beyond these sites, you will get a chance to see both historical and modern bridges – from London and Westminster to Millenium and Jubilee – as well as views of famous skyscrapers, such as the Shard, the Gherkin, and the Walkie-Talkie.
You won’t want to miss the photo opportunities on this one!

If you are looking for the best running tour in London, you can’t go wrong running with an experienced guide like Steve!
We started our morning run near Trafalgar Square where Steve was really easy to find. He introduced himself, shared some fun facts about the area, and ensured I felt comfortable before we started running. We ran at my comfortable (slow) pace and Steve never made me feel like I was going too slow. Instead, he adjusted to my pace while sharing awesome facts about London.
I would highly recommend hiring a running guide in London like Steve. As this was my first running tour, the experience left me wanting to sign up for another one. Steve was also great with communicating clearly in advanced when and where we would meet.
Thanks, Steve, for sharing the beautiful city of London! Can’t wait to run another!

This was a fantastic running tour. Steve was at our hotel at a perfect time. He catered the run to meet our interests and told stories that kept the run fascinating and informative. He knows so much about London both historical and current. He made sure we were going at a pace that was comfortable for us and still see all of the sites. It was the perfect way to see the landmarks on the Thames.

We had an absolutely amazing tour with Steven. Super knowledgeable about London, enthusiastic, and a great runner. He’ll completely adjust the tour to your pace and style. Even if you do a traditional tour of the city I would highly recommend early morning running with Steven. It will give you a whole new perspective on the city and it’s absolutely worth it!

Steve met me at my hotel and toured me literally up both sides of the Thames River. We stopped for photos and history lessons and I learned an immense amount of knowledge.
Plus, I was nursing an injury and we were able to take a few walk breaks, a bunch of photo breaks and just generally enjoy a crystal clear morning with unobstructed views to the sights.
Steve was super knowledgeable and just a delight to be around – I would highly recommend this tour or any tour with this crew.
