Cancer Research UK London Winter Run: Here’s a list of all the roads that’ll be shut and where to go to watch
Thinking of heading into town tomorrow?
That's fine, but be braced for a raft of road closures that might slightly impede your progress. Don't worry, the Tube strikes are still off – it's just a 10km Cancer Research UK Winter Run is going ahead tomorrow. And over 15,000 people took part last time, so you should probably plan ahead.

You may want to go and cheer on the hardy souls braving the cold as they pass some of the capital's many landmarks to raise funds for charity, so below is a map of the route and a roundup of all the key affected roads and their closure times – there'll be no vehicle or bicycle access.

As for the best way to get about otherwise – stick to Tube and rail, though Bank, Embankment and Westminster Tube stations may be busier around the event.

Buses in and around central London will be on diversion or terminate early from around 05:00 to 16:30. More info's available on the Transport for London (TfL) site here.
Want to get to the run?
The nearest Tube stations to the run will be Charing Cross, Westminster, Embankment, Leicester Square, Piccadilly, St James Park and Waterloo.
There'll be staggered starts to reduce pressure on local transport, with batches of 1,900 runners being set off every eight minutes from 09:30 until 10:25 at the north terrace of Trafalgar Square.
The finish will be the southern end of Whitehall near Downing Street.
