Part 13 - Baker Street to Marble Arch - (3km) - Across London Visual Marathon
Updated: Mar 8
PHOTORUN SUMMARY
This 3 Km section of the Across London Visual Marathon takes you from Baker Street to Marble Arch via Marylebone High Street and Oxford Street.

Part 13 starts at Baker Street Station and heads east along Marylebone Road past Madame Tussauds before turning down Marylebone High Street with its many shops and cafes. The route takes a detour into Manchester Square past the Wallace Collection and then travels east along Wigmore street and Cavendish Square before emerging onto Oxford Street and heading west towards Marble Arch.
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, most of the route will be crowded with people, especially along Oxford Street.
The Location of Part 13
As the map shows, this is part 13 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.
