Coach Hire for London Marathon, Greenwich to The Mall

About the London Marathon

First held in 1981, the London Marathon has grown into one of the planet’s premier running events. It’s celebrated not just for the elite athletes competing, but also for the vast number of amateur runners participating, many raising vital funds for charity. The course is famous for its scenic route through London, starting in Greenwich, passing iconic landmarks such as the Cutty Sark, Tower Bridge, and the Houses of Parliament, before finishing on The Mall.

The event’s scale is immense, drawing an estimated 750,000 attendees and participants. Its unique atmosphere, combined with the challenge of the 26.2-mile course, makes it a bucket-list event for runners worldwide. The finish line at Buckingham Palace provides a spectacular backdrop for the culmination of this incredible sporting spectacle.
