LSE Summer School x GoodGym week 6

Westminster Report written by Katie Welford

It was a cooler evening than the last two and this week we headed west through the crazy busy Leicester Square and Picadilly Circus, up fancy pants New Bond Street and then across to Hyde Park. Marble Arch peeked through the trees as we ran up to Speaker's Corner and then along the top of the park.

At this point, Katie went on a gentle run down to the lake, whilst the others picked up the pace in a loop to the end of the park. Everyone started going in different directions, it got a bit bonkers, some people went all the way around the lake. We thought we'd lost someone, turns out he went home and told Katie but she forgot in the madness.

We ran home through Trafalgar Square, which was shut last time we tried due to the state visit from the Spanish King and Queen. Everyone was pretty tired on the home stretch and with some stretches, that ended a nice long run. Thanks to everyone who made it along and good luck with your final exams and assignments.

LSE Summer School x GoodGym week 5

Westminster Report written by Katie Welford

17 lovely summer school students saw St. Paul's, crossed the Millennium Bridge and visited Tower Bridge on an 8km run

Luckily this week was a little bit calmer for running - both because the LSE did not have any graduation sessions on and also there were no state visits from foreign royalty!

This week we headed east down Fleet Street to the beautiful dome at St. Paul's cathedral - one of London's greatest landmarks. Katie took possibly the worst group photo of the runners at this first stop, as it really isn't clear where you are....she probably needs to work on her photography skills...

After that it was a lovely run over the Millennium Bridge and then along the river to London Bridge, past the Mayor's Office to London Bridge. We managed a better snap here before heading over the bridge and enjoying some lovely views out over the river, before running through the Tower of London grounds.

We headed back west along the river path and then nipped up back to the LSE at Temple Station. It was a lovely evening for a run, being a bit cooler than last week and I hope everyone enjoyed the tourism!

LSE Summer School x GoodGym week 4

Westminster Report written by Katie Welford

26 brilliant runners explore parliament, Green Park, Buckingham Palace and the King and Queen of Spain!

It was a bit of a bonkers evening to be heading for a run around central London. Not only was the LSE campus buzzing with graduations, the King and Queen of Spain were on a state visit and so much of central London was blocked off. This made the usually busy rush hour areas EVEN BUSIER!

We nipped down to the river and headed along to Big Ben, sadly with a bit of scaffolding round him at the moment, but looking grand nonetheless. After a very busy cross over Parliament square, we celebrated as we reached St. James's park and a bit of space. Hooray!

A nice run around the lake led us to Buckingham Palace and a nice team photo. With that it was over the road into Green Park and a nice lap around. On coming back through Horseguard's Parade, it was clear that much of town was blocked off so run leader / not the best tour guide Katie led the group up and round, with a return stretch scooping below Covent Garden and the busy London streets.

Thanks to everyone who came along and you sure got quite a lot of London experiences in one run there!
