Planning to make a weekend of it? Great idea. London in July is buzzing — and with thousands of runners, friends, and supporters heading into the city for race weekend, accommodation fills up fast.

We highly recommend booking early to secure the best locations and prices. Whether you’re after a stylish central hotel, a budget-friendly hostel, or an apartment to share with friends, the earlier you book, the more options you’ll have close to the start line.

The start and finish areas are right in the heart of London — think Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly, and the Strand — so anywhere in central London (zones 1–2) will make race morning easy. Areas like Westminster, Soho, Covent Garden, and Southbank are all within walking distance.

If you’re travelling in by train, look for accommodation near your arrival station for a smooth journey on race morning. The Tube and buses run frequently, but central roads will be closed for the event, so it’s worth planning your route in advance. For more details on how to get to the event, click here.
