Hampstead Heath
Escape the world of work and stroll up to Regent ’ s Park on a clear afternoon . By the time you ’ ve ran back down the famous Primrose Hill you would ’ ve taken in the views of the city and burned off that sneaky packet of crisps from earlier …
Richmond Park
Take a break from hustle and bustle of the city and get lost in the endless grounds of Richmond Park . If you ’ re looking to escape the tourists , explore the open spaces , wander and take in the views of London - Richmond Park is the perfect escape ( and keep your eyes open for the deer !).
Regent ’ s Canal
Get up early on a weekend and discover East London - the Olympic Park , Hackney Marshes and then return back to central . Following the canal path , there ’ s no reason to worry about cars or other obstacles , just a handful of other like-minded runners ( make sure you stop off for a tea break to warm up on your way !).
Kensington Gardens
Viewing the landmarks of London , whilst keeping fit ?! Nothing beats it . Feel like complete royalty and take a run around Kensington Gardens - with its formal gardens and statues there is no place more luxurious .
Greenwich Observatory
For grand open spaces , there ’ s no other place to go . Tucked away south of the river , Greenwich is unlike any other area in London . Entering Greenwich Park , pick up the pace up the hill ( not for the faint hearted ) to the Royal Observatory for a challenge , rewarded with views of the city .

Southbank
For a city stroll ( or run , for that matter ), the urban parkland district of London is a good place to head . From theatres , TV studios , galleries and obviously views of the city , never has a run been oh so cultural .
