Elevation

Explore the Isle of Dogs Circular

Location: London, England

Explore the Isle of Dogs Circular, an 8.1km paved route offering a unique running experience through London's iconic riverside landscape. This flat, anticlockwise loop largely follows the Thames Path North Extension and sections of the Greenwich Meridian Trail, providing continuous waterside views of the Thames. Enjoy glimpses of historic maritime areas as you hug the riverbanks before heading north.

Transitioning through Poplar Dock and Blackwall Basin, the route then takes you through the modern heart of Canary Wharf, passing Middle Dock. While this urban section is generally busier, its entirely paved surface and negligible elevation make it ideal for convenient training runs, everyday fitness, or a scenic tour blending old London with new.

A great way to go round the Isle of Dogs (in the dark) feeling confident of not getting lost or taking any false turns.
