The London Marathon takes place annually, usually on the last Sunday of April. For both wheelchair racers and runners (elite, club and fun - many in fancy dress), it starts from the south side of Greenwich Park, on the common at Blackheath, then routes eastwards towards Charlton and Woolwich before turning west through Greenwich, past the Old Royal Naval College and Maritime Museum, and doing a loop around the Cutty Sark before heading off towards Deptford. Roads are closed. Many pubs and cafes open early, some with live music, serving spectators who line the route to cheer participants along.

The large Odeon multiplex has 18-screens, but is a bit out-of-the way, at Bugsby Way, on the way to the O2 Arena.
