Ultimate Spectators Guide to the London Marathon ULTIMATE SPECTATORS GUIDE TO THE LONDON MARATHON We recommend you purchase a Travelcard to travel around London on the day as this will allow access to Rail, Tube and Bus at no extra charge. Zones 1-2 should be adequate for the travelling around the route, however if you need to go further afield, please check which zones you’ll be travelling in. Buses no longer accept cash payments. You’ll need to use a Travelcard, Oyster card or pay with a contactless debit/credit card. Please note that whilst we do have cheering stations at Tower Bridge (mile 12) and along the Victoria Embankment (mile 24) these will be manned by volunteers and we do not recommend you go to those points on race day. This is because these areas are extremely busy and it can take a long time to move through the crowds. By skipping Tower Bridge, you have more chance of seeing your runner at multiple points on the route, and by going straight to mile 25 from 19 you’ll cheer them on from the end! START AREA Although it’s advised not to accompany your runner to the start due to the high volumes of people, if you decide to see them off, please be aware that spectators will not be allowed into the assembly areas of the start. Once you’ve said your farewells and good lucks, head down the Avenue out of Greenwich Park. Once out of the park, turn left onto Nevada Street and keep walking as it turns into Burney Street. At the end of the road, turn right onto Royal Hill, and then left onto Greenwich High Road once you reach the end. Keep walking down Greenwich High Road until you reach Greenwich Station on your right. Assembly Area Here you’ll want to get onto the DLR, northbound, to Canary Wharf. At Canary Wharf, you can either join our third cheering station at mile 19, or you can change onto the Jubilee line and join our first cheering station at mile 9. You’ll have time to see your runner at both. Please note, you can get on any DLR train from Greenwich, the end destination does not matter. At Canary Wharf, to get to Canada Water, head westbound in the direction of Stanmore. MILE 9 – CANADA WATER Our first cheering point will be at Mile 9 along Surrey Quays Road. When leaving Canada Water Station, turn left onto Surrey Quays Road and follow the road until you reach the race route. Our cheering station will be located along the route. Once you’ve cheered your runner on, walk back to Canada Water Tube Station to go to the third cheering point at mile 19 (we don’t recommend going to the second point at Tower Bridge due to crowd levels). Teenage Cancer Trust Mile 9 Cheering Squad MILE 19 – CANARY WHARF At Canada Water, get on the Jubilee line westbound in the direction of Stratford. Get off at Canary Wharf which is the next stop. When coming out of Canary Wharf station, try to come out the main entrance, up the big escalators which will bring you out onto Jubilee Plaza, directly facing the water way and a Boris Bike Station. Turn right, towards the plaza, and then right again so that you’re walking past the station, with the station garden on your right. Keep going until you reach Upper Bank Street. If you come out the secondary exit, you will be on Upper Bank Street, simply turn left and walk up Upper Bank Street until you reach the North Colonnade, and the race route. Walk right along the route until you get to our cheer point. Please note that it will be extremely busy at Canary Wharf so our cheering squad may be a little further along than depicted on the map. Teenage Cancer Trust Cheer Point Canary Wharf Main Exit Canary Wharf Secondary Exit MILE 25 AND COOL DOWN PARTY Walk back towards Canary Wharf Station and get on the Jubilee line, westbound, in the direction of Stanmore. Travel 6 stops and get off at Westminster. Exit from Exit 3 (Houses of Parliament) and follow the route in the direction of the runners (heading away from Westminster Bridge) the runners should be on your right hand side, if not, use the underpass to cross to the other side. Head straight over Parliament Square, following the route. On the corner of Parliament Square and Great George Street is the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). This is where the final cheering squad and the Teenage Cancer Trust Cool Down Party will be. Teenage Cancer Trust Mile 25.5 Cheering Squad Westminster Station Exit 3 RICS - Teenage Cancer Trust Cool Down Party Mile 25.5 Cheering Squad WHAT TO DO IF WESTMINSTER TUBE STATION IS CLOSED DUE TO OVERCROWDING As you can imagine, Westminster can get incredibly busy on race day, and sometimes Westminster tube station is closed for short periods of time due to overcrowding. If the station is closed at the time you’re travelling, you can get off at either Waterloo or Green Park stations. Please note that it will be extremely congested on the walk from Green Park to the Cool Down Party as this is the last mile of the route. We would recommend you exit at Waterloo Station. TO EXIT AT WATERLOO STATION Head to the main forecourt by following the signs to the trains. If you exit the Jubilee line where McDonalds is, head up the escalators to enter the main forecourt. Facing the platforms, walk right, towards platform 18. Head out of the main exit and walk down the steps. Turn left at the bottom of the steps, and turn left again so you’re walking down York Road. Keep walking until you reach Westminster Bridge. Cross the bridge on the left hand side, so that when you reach Westminster station, the runners are on your right. Follow the route in the direction of the runners (heading away from Westminster Bridge) and head straight over Parliament Square, following the route. On the corner of Parliament Square and Great George Street is the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). This is where the final cheering squad and the Teenage Cancer Trust Cool Down Party will be. TO EXIT AT GREEN PARK STATION To exit at Green Park Station, exit from any exit and cross over to the park. Walk through the park towards Buckingham Palace. Here you will join the route. Walk in the opposite direction to the flow of runners, with the runners on your left, and follow the route round to Birdcage Walk. Walk all the way down Birdcage Walk until you reach Parliament Square. On the corner of Parliament Square and Great George Street is the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). This is where the final cheering squad and the Teenage Cancer Trust Cool Down Party will be.

    Greenwich Waterfront Transit Summary Report This report has been produced by TfL Integration Further copies may be obtained from: Tf L Integration, Windsor House, 42–50 Victoria Street, London SW1H 0TL Telephone 020 7941 4094 July 2001 GREENWICH WATERFRONT TRANSIT • SUMMARY REPORT Foreword In 1997, following a series of strategic studies into the potential for intermediate modes in different parts of outer London, London Transport (LT) commenced a detailed assessment under the title “Greenwich Waterfront Transit” of a potential scheme along the south bank of the Thames between Greenwich Town Centre and Thamesmead then on to Abbey Wood. In July 2000, LT’s planning functions were incorporated into Transport for London (TfL). A major factor in deciding to carry out a detailed feasibility study for Waterfront Transit has been the commitment shown by Greenwich and Bexley Councils to assist in the development of the project and their willingness to consider the principle of road space re-allocation in favour of public transport. This support, as well as that of other bodies such as SELTRANS, Greenwich Development Agency,Woolwich Development Agency and the Thames Gateway London Partnership, is acknowledged by TfL. The ongoing support of these bodies will be crucial if the proposals are to proceed. A major objective of this exercise has been to identify the traffic management measures required to achieve segregation and high priority over other traffic to encourage modal shift towards public transport, particularly from the private car. It is TfL’s view,supported by the studies undertaken, that the securing of this segregation and priority would be critical in determining the success of Waterfront Transit.

  • 'Ungovernable'? Financialisation and the Governance Of
    Governing the ‘ungovernable’? Financialisation and the governance of transport infrastructure in the London ‘global city-region’ February 2018 Peter O’Briena* Andy Pikea and John Tomaneyb aCentre for Urban and Regional Development Studies (CURDS), Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK NE1 7RU. Email: peter.o’[email protected]; [email protected] bBartlett School of Planning, University College London, Bartlett School of Planning, University College London, 620 Central House, 14 Upper Woburn Place, London, UK WC1H 0NN. Email: [email protected] *Corresponding author 1 Abstract The governance of infrastructure funding and financing at the city-region scale is a critical aspect of the continued search for mechanisms to channel investment into the urban landscape. In the context of the global financial crisis, austerity and uneven growth, national, sub-national and local state actors are being compelled to adopt the increasingly speculative activities of urban entrepreneurialism to attract new capital, develop ‘innovative’ financial instruments and models, and establish new or reform existing institutional arrangements for urban infrastructure governance. Amidst concerns about the claimed ‘ungovernability’ of ‘global’ cities and city-regions, governing urban infrastructure funding and financing has become an acute issue. Infrastructure renewal and development are interpreted as integral to urban growth, especially to underpin the size and scale of large cities and their significant contributions within national economies. Yet, oovercoming fragmented local jurisdictions to improve the governance and economic, social and environmental development of major metropolitan areas remains a challenge. The complex, and sometimes conflicting and contested inter-relationships at stake raise important questions about the role of the state in wrestling with entrepreneurial and managerialist governance imperatives.

It was one of the streets that Charles Dickens has written about and named it as ‘the Devil’s acre’. However it has since become the epicentre of the British political establishment, situated as it is, literally a stone’s throw from the Houses of Parliament. Architecturally, the area in which Great Peter Street sits has quintessen- tially been described as ‘the essence of Old Westminster’. This exceptional location is surrounded by Grade II listed houses from the 1700s. The building itself is a homage to Georgian architecture and also it is prevalent in the area.
