The London City Race weekend kicks off with a night sprint race around the complex dual levels of the world-renowned Imperial College in South Kensington – just a couple of minutes walk from the Natural History Museum, Science Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Event Centre

The event centre will be in “Ethos”, the Sports Centre of Imperial College, on Prince’s Gardens, SW7 1NA – a short walk from South Kensington station on the London Underground. This is on the edge of a square that is opposite the main entrance to Imperial College – see the map below. Registration and assembly will be in the sports hall, with ample room for baggage storage, changing etc.

From South Kensington, follow the pedestrian subway 450m to the furthest exit, signposted to the Science Museum and Imperial College. Continue north for 230m along Exhibition Road and turn right into Prince’s Gardens (Prince’s Gardens is a square – you need the north side). Ethos is on the left after 65m.
