We've teamed up with New Balance to bring you the ultimate spectator map for the TCS London Marathon on April 26th.

The TCS London Marathon is one of the city's most packed annual events, and one of the largest marathons in the world with over 55,000 runners and up to 800,000 spectators. The buzz of the day is unparalleled, with London once again proving itself a singular host of mega events that stretch across the city.

Yet, with crowds can come chaos, and things can get a bit overwhelming. We've plotted a spectator map to help you plan the London Marathon, with spots for you to check out during the marathon weekend, alongside others for the day itself.

Made together with New Balance, our spectator map concentrates on three London boroughs: Isle of Dogs, Embankment and Deptford, featuring spots around the New Balance cheer zones.
