The route was very nice, and all the instructions were correct (kilometres, tourist route, gradients, etc). The views are breathtaking and it was very pleasant to run in these conditions. I did it on a Saturday afternoon, and it was too crowded, but that's independent of the route. Otherwise, the explanations were clear.

Run in London - Thames and more
Starting at White Chapel and crossing the former docks area, this beautiful sightrunning tour along the Thames offers great views of London's main monuments, along the charming pedestrian path created on the South Bank.
*Alternative route : you can choose between 2 starts for 9.7km or 7.4km. You can shorten both routes (-1km) by not crossing Millenium Bridge. Simply continue along the river, to the next bridges, and then urbirun will guide you.
Shorter tour (8.4km), only to Westminster Bridge instead of Lambeth Birdge.
Bonus
Many other different runs are available to run and explore London, as self-audioguided running-tours, that you can find on this website, or as .gpx files. Don't miss the urbirun gpx routes boutique.
