Literary London 7k running tour

Sat 5th October 2024

A diverse group of people, wearing casual and athletic clothing, smile for a photo on a sunny day. They are standing in front of a white van labeled "COOL ICE MAN" and a row of large canvases on display. Trees and a building are visible in the background. A group of runners is gathered on a city street, listening attentively to a person in a white T-shirt who appears to be giving instructions. They are dressed in various running gear, including jackets, shorts, and brightly colored athletic shoes. A person wearing a navy cap, white shirt, and colorful patterned leggings holds a framed picture while smiling and standing near an ornate metal gate. They appear to be participating in an outdoor event. Others are visible in the background. A group of people dressed in athletic attire stand in a semi-circle on a street, attentively listening to a person speaking. The speaker is holding a paper and gesturing with one hand. The background features a brick building with several windows and balconies.

Organiser's Description

On this brand new Secret London Runs running tour, you will run between some of the places linked to London's literary legends around the London Bridge area.

See locations that inspired the works of Dickens and Shakespeare, visit the home of Bridget Jones (it was of course, a book first) and discover the site from which Chaucer's pilgrims set off in April 1386.

In addition to these literary legends, your guide - book loving enthusiast Josh - is excited to share some of his favourite novels and their links to this iconic area, just South of the River Thames.

Pace
Gentler than 11 minute miles - join this tour if you’re worried about pace. No one gets left behind, and we will introduce some short walking intervals to the tour, alongside gentle jogging, if anyone is struggling.
