The Shard lights up London's skyline. But the history in its shadows will chill you to the core. Join this 6km running tour of London's darkest past.

Southwark and London Bridge sit in the shadow of the exuberant Shard. Over a 6km running tour, your guide will uncover the sordid and fascinating history hidden in the area - which for many years was dubbed London's District of Sin.

Who lived here? What did they do? Why so sinful?

Every runner gets a snack at the finish-line, as well as plenty of new knowledge about an area you thought you knew pretty well...

Each date is at a guide pace to keep you in your comfort zone - this is based on your usual running pace. Please note that the tour will take much longer than that as we stop for photos (breathers!) and history along the route.
