LSE Run Club - wk 5

Westminster Report written by Alyx Murray-Jackman

It was Week 5 for LSE's Summer School Run Club. LSE are hosting these Wednesday night runs across the summer for students. This week we had 16 lovely runners run just over 6km.

After introductions and a quick warm up (plus a plank challenge, which 5 people won!), we headed off on our sightseeing run tour. Our first stop was Trafalgar Square and Nelson's column, there to commemorate the Battle of Trafalgar, a naval victory in the Napoleonic war with France & Spain. Then we jogged round to Buckingham Palace, got some selfies and found out some great facts about the Queen. After the palace we headed over into Westminster and saw the Cathedral (largest Catholic church in England and Wales) and Westminster Abbey (coronation and burial site for British monarchs). With Big Ben under construction we went to the other end of the Palace of Westminster, which is the home of the UK government, passing through Parliament Square.

Finally we ran back along Victoria Embankment, stopping for some photos with the London Eye (best place to see it is across the river!). The London Eye is Europe's tallest ferris wheel!

We finished off with some stretches by the Students' Union.

Fab running from all!
