BY FOOT
KEW BRIDGE STATION: is 0.6 miles from Elizabeth Gate. Walk over Kew Bridge, turn right onto Kew Green then straight ahead to the golden gates!

BY BICYCLE
Why not cycle to Old Deer Park and then walk or take the 65 bus to Kew Green. It’s a perfect warm up for the legs! There are cycle bike racks outside Elizabeth Gate or chain your bike to a fence inside Old Deer Park or cycle parking at Pools in the Park.
BY TRAIN, LONDON UNDERGROUND & OVERGROUND
The closest train station to the start line is Kew Bridge followed by Richmond station.
Saturday: Trains seem to be running fine into Kew Bridge Station and Richmond Station so please use TFL to find the best train route for you.
Sunday: Sorry Marathon runners but the first train into Kew Bridge gets in at 8:16am from Waterloo, however the first train to Richmond gets in at 06:40. From there jump on the 65 bus from Richmond to Kew Green (or walk/jog). We recommend this for all Marathon runners and Waves 1 & 2 of the 10K and Half.
The closest tube is Kew Gardens Station but the only event this would work for is for the Richmond Half Marathon. For more information visit: https://tfl.gov.uk/plan-a-journey/ (TFL) or https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ (National Rail).
BY BUS
Routes 237, 65, 110 and 267 stop at Kew Bridge Station. Route 65 between Ealing Broadway and Kingston, via Richmond town centre, stops outside Kew Green.
The above is correct on 27th August 2026 but is subject to change so please check your arrangements before departing.
