Best Time
The best time to do this run is first thing in the morning - and at the weekend when it is quieter. At other times, the areas around Oxford Circus and Baker Street can be crowded.
The Location of Part 12
As the map shows, this is part 12 of the 14 parts of the Across London Visual Marathon, which starts at the Thames Barrier (part 1) and ends at Hyde Park Corner in the West End of London in part 14. This shows the last nine parts in three sections, starting at the Tower of London.
This is a flexible marathon designed to let you choose which parts you want to do and when, so you can do as little or as much as you want at any one time. These photorun blogs are more about the place than the pace, where creative fun is more important than a fast run.
