Trip Overview
Cross 24 iconic bridges along the Thames on this unique London marathon route. This is urban trekking at its most spectacular — a marathon-distance walk that zigzags back and forth across the Thames, crossing every bridge between Tower Bridge and Kew Bridge. Each bridge tells a different story of London's history: from the gothic towers of Tower Bridge to the modern elegance of the Millennium Bridge, the political power of Westminster Bridge to the artistic bohemia of Albert Bridge. Walking 42km through the heart of London is an experience unlike any other trek we offer.
Who is this for?
Marathon distance on flat terrain — the challenge is endurance, not elevation. Accessible to anyone who can walk for 8+ hours. The flat riverside paths make this an excellent first marathon-distance event.
Itinerary

"This was my first time cycling with Adventure Cafe; first time riding from London to Paris and my first time riding this sort of distance over 3 days. Lots of preparation had gone into this from AC prior to departing London."
