9.30am Start – Suggested route 1
Start is a park near the Bricklayer’s Arms Roundabout, which is at one end of the Old Kent Road.The landmark is the Love Tank.The nearest underground and British Rail link is Elephant and Castle, could also be accessed from Bermondsey (underground) or London Bridge (underground + rail). Would need to allow 25-30 mins to get there by foot. Many busses go much closer.
From Elephant and Castle head from the shopping centre to the Coronet Cinema. Head down the New Kent Road, until you get to the junction with the Old Kent Road. This is a big flyover.
3:00pm – Suggested route 2.
Start at Trafalgar square. Or arrive at Trafalgar Square around 1/1.30pm. Stop for lunch and carry on with route 2 at 3pm.
5.30pm approx – Finish at Marylebone Station.
Other routes – please feel free to take any route you like and meet us at Marylebone station at around 5.30pm. You can walk/run/tube/bus any destination you want to.
