Runner in Hyde Park

The London marathon takes place this Sunday starting in Blackheath and finishing on The Mall. As in previous years, Serpies who are not running, and friends and family are invited to join in our traditional cheering point on The Highway and also our post-race pub gathering. See below for more details:

The Highway Cheering Point

The regular Serpie cheering spot lead by Sid Wills will be set up again this year on The Highway, Wapping, near miles 13 and 22. The meeting point is outside the BP garage on the SOUTH SIDE of The Highway from around 9:30am. The nearest post code is E1W 2BU. Please beware that there are no guaranteed road crossing points on race day across so make sure you enter from the south side of The Highway to make sure you are on the right side of the road. An option is to get an Overground train to Wapping then walk back up the hill from there. Remember to wear Serpie colours red and yellow.

Post Race Pub

This year we are breaking from our traditional post marathon pub, which was unable to take our booking.

The post race pub is the Barley Mow in Westminster (104 Horseferry Rd, London SW1P 2EE). http://www.barleymowhorseferryrd.co.uk/.

We have a booking from 1:30pm under Monica/Serpentine.

Please note that the pub takes card only.
