The London Marathon

Over 450,000 people registered for this year’s London Marathon, and whilst we all agree that safety has to be the priority, it is still a disappointment for all the lucky participants that the event has been cancelled.

But let’s look ahead to better times, the London Marathon is currently planned for October 2021, and whether you are participating, supporting or just watching the amazing people who are, there isn’t a better positioned hotel than The Clarendon.

The pre-race running show is just down the road from us at ExCel and the mass race starts from Blackheath and Greenwich. So whichever gate you want to be at, the start is either outside your bedroom window or within walking distance – so you don’t need to worry about getting up even earlier to make sure that you get there on time.

Our location also makes it easy for supporters, with several well spaced points along the route being easily accessible so you can enjoy the fantastic atmosphere throughout the day – when it finally arrives.
