Keep on running

The Virgin Money London Marathon returns to the Capital on Sunday. Runners, spectators, motorists and passengers are being reminded to plan their journeys.

London Underground

Tube services in central areas will run as normal. The following stations will be busier than usual:

  • Blackfriars (Circle and District lines and Thameslink trains)
  • Canada Water (Jubilee line and London Overground)
  • Canary Wharf (Jubilee line and DLR)
  • Charing Cross (Bakerloo and Northern lines, and Southeastern trains)
  • Embankment (Bakerloo, Northern, Circle and District lines)
  • Green Park (Victoria, Piccadilly and Jubilee lines)  
  • London Bridge (Jubilee and Northern lines, First Capital Connect, Southeastern and Southern trains)
  • Mansion House (Circle and District lines)
  • St. James's Park (Circle and District lines)
  • Tower Hill/Tower Gateway (Circle and District lines and c2c trains from nearby Fenchurch Street)
  • Temple (Circle and District lines)
  • Westminster (Jubilee, Circle and District lines)

DLR

Passengers should expect changes to routes and frequencies on certain services. The service between Tower Gateway and Lewisham will start at 05:30 on Sunday. For travel between Beckton and Tower Gateway, or Woolwich Arsenal and Bank, use an alternative route on Sunday as trains from Beckton and Woolwich Arsenal will terminate at Poplar.

For onward travel to Bank or Tower  Gateway, passengers will need to change to a Canary Wharf train at Poplar, and then change to a Bank or Tower Gateway train at Canary Wharf.

Where possible, avoid travelling through the DLR stations west of Canning Town which are located on, or close to, the marathon route.DLR station entry and exit points will change at Tower Gateway, Shadwell, Greenwich and Cutty Sark stations during the marathon. DLR staff will be on hand to assist customers.

Services will follow a normal Sunday timetable from 17:30 on Sunday, until the end of service.

London Overground

The following stations are very close to the starting line so are best avoided between 07:00 and 11:00: Surrey Quays, Canada Water (connect with the Jubilee line), Rotherhithe, Wapping and Shadwell (connect with the DLR).

Buses

A number of buses will either be diverted or will not run the full length of their route until after the event.
