Navigating the London Marathon 2026: How to Beat the Road Closures & Crowds

The London Marathon is back tomorrow, and the city is buzzing! It’s one of the best days to be in London, but with 26 miles of road closures and packed tube stations, getting around can be a bit of a nightmare.

Your Secret Weapon for Race Day

If you’re trying to catch your favourite runner at different points along the route, from Greenwich to The Mall, walking isn't always an option, and buses are diverted. That’s where we come in.

Our London rickshaw tours and private hires are the smartest way to navigate the West End tomorrow:

• Skip the Crowds: We know the backstreets of Soho and Covent Garden like the back of our hands.

• Perfect for Families: Our fleet can carry the whole family while you cheer on the athletes.

• Eco-Friendly & Fun: Enjoy the "Brilliant" atmosphere of the race from the best seat in the house.

Most road closures stay in place until late Sunday evening. Don't get stuck in the tube, book a ride and see the city in style.
