Some people still enjoy looking with their eyeballs. Wild, I know. But London has designated Spectator Zones. These are areas where the crowds are allowed to go thick. You absolutely cannot see everything from anywhere.
Pick one spot. Stick to it. And commit. If you try to hop between Cutty Sark and the Tower of London, you’ll miss them entirely. You’ll end up watching a guy dressed as a phone box run past, wondering why you didn’t stay put.
The best spots for drama
Cutty Sark is early and easy. Canary Wharf is the corporate soul-crushing zone. But the real drama? It’s at Mile 22 near the London Eye. That’s where silence falls. That’s where the runners look like they’ve seen a ghost. If you want to see the pain, go there.
