Richmond ──(District Line/rail)──> Central London
Richmond's strong transport links make central London an easy add-on for runners with an extra day, without needing to change accommodation. September in central London: museums and galleries running as usual, a low-effort option regardless of race-day weather.
Central London
The District Line runs directly from Richmond into central London, putting museums, galleries and the city's wider sightseeing within easy reach without a hire car or complicated transfer. This suits legs that have just run a marathon well: a day of walking at your own pace, with plenty of places to sit down.
Where to eat: Central London's restaurant choice is vast; the areas around any planned sightseeing stop are the practical option rather than travelling out of the way.
Getting Back
The District Line runs directly back to Richmond, a straightforward return journey without changes.
