Marathon Day

The exciting London Marathon will be running past and through Tooley Street onto Tower Bridge, however, I am a resident on Tooley Street and will need to use my car on this day. Does anyone know of any practical information about road closures and in particular times? Please respond back to this discussion with any practical information about the London Marathon.

I live just off Tooley Street by Tower Bridge.

The Tooley Street/Tower Bridge junction and Tooley Street itself normally reopen to traffic around 2PM - but can vary from year to year.

You'll need to park your car away off of Tooley Street otherwise they'll remove your car. You could park in Fair Street and then you'll be able to turn left onto Tower Bridge Road, avoiding the Marathon route.

Details of the road closures can be found here:
