Run a 10K or half marathon across London's Thames bridges with GPS-triggered audio directions, river views, and local history.
About this tour
Take on a distinctive London running challenge with a self-guided audio route along the River Thames. Choose a 10K that crosses 11 bridges or a half marathon that takes in 17, with the route running from Tower Bridge toward Putney or Vauxhall. GPS-triggered audio provides directions and commentary as you go, sharing stories about the river, its bridges, and the growth of the capital along its banks.
Begin beside the sundial outside Tower Hill station, then follow the route across the Thames for changing views of the city and its waterfront landmarks. A route map helps you get back on track if you miss a direction, and you can split the run into sections if you prefer not to cover the distance in one go. The downloadable tour can be used more than once, making it easy to fit the challenge around your plans.
Set your own pace and discover London from the bridges that connect its neighborhoods. Choose your distance and get ready to run the Thames.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 7 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in London
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.5. Top 26% in London means it ranks in the top 26% of tours in London by this score.
