The circuit starts and ends on the south bank of the Thames at Red Lion Court. The event opens with a trek out to the Cutty Sark before heading under the river and back to the Tower of London. From there, the landmarks come thick and fast. Having past through the city visiting some of the great tourist attractions, the route takes the walkers past Big Ben and back over the Thames to the south bank where they then head past the London Eye and back to Red Lion Court.
