London Walking & Running Tour: Covent Garden to Westminster Bridge | 5.7 km POV

Explore London on foot — or run it virtually from anywhere in the world. THIS IS PART A - PART B is Next week Join me on a 5.7 km London walking and running route from Covent Garden to Westminster, filmed as a real-time POV (point-of-view) route with a running commentary. Starting at Covent Garden Station, this scenic London route takes you through Covent Garden and across Waterloo Bridge, with spectacular views towards the City of London. We then head along the South Bank, passing the London Eye and County Hall, before reaching Westminster Bridge. This is Part A of the route, ending at Westminster Bridge. Part B continues across Westminster Bridge and on towards Piccadilly Circus, taking in Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Whitehall, St James's Park, Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square. The route is designed for both real runners and walkers exploring London and virtual runners and walkers who want to experience London from anywhere — whether you're on a treadmill, walking indoors or simply want to explore the city from home. Early morning is a particularly good time to experience this route, when many of London's most famous landmarks are quieter and easier to enjoy. This is Route 11 of the 16-route Across London Visual Marathon. 📍 ROUTE HIGHLIGHTS • Covent Garden & Covent Garden Piazza • London Transport Museum • The Strand & Bow Street • Waterloo Bridge • National Theatre • BFI Southbank • Royal Festival Hall • Golden Jubilee Bridge • South Bank • Jubilee Gardens • London Eye • County Hall • The London Dungeon • SEA LIFE London • The London Dungeon • Paddington Bear Experience • Westminster Bridge ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Introduction 0:39 Route Map & Overview 1:17 Covent Garden Station & Covent Garden Piazza 2:23 London Transport Museum & Jubilee Gardens 2:59 Russell Street & Bow Street – Food, Drink & Theatres 4:04 The Strand & Waterloo Bridge Views 6:03 National Theatre & BFI Southbank 7:04 Royal Festival Hall 7:47 Golden Jubilee Bridge – Views towards the City of London 9:51 Golden Jubilee Bridge – Westminster Views 11:20 Jubilee Gardens & Riverside Entertainment 11:40 London Eye & County Hall 12:30 The London Dungeon, Shrek, SEA LIFE & Other Attractions 13:10 Westminster Bridge – End of Part A & Summary 13:46 End 🗺️ FULL ROUTE GUIDE For the full route guide, including Strava and Google Maps, GPX download, photographs and information about places to eat, drink and visit, see the Striding Cities website: https://www.stridingcities.com/post/c... ▶️ PREVIOUS ROUTE Watch the previous route in the Across London series, travelling from St Paul's Cathedral to Covent Garden via the Old Bailey, Smithfield, Holborn and the Inns of Court:    • Borough Market, Millennium Bridge, and St ...   🎬 NEW TO STRIDING CITIES?
