Along the route there are several official cheering points including at Montgomery Square in Canary Wharf where there will be live radio broadcasts and entertainment from various bands.
Other good spots on the Isle of Dogs include the City Pride pub on Westferry Road on the 15 mile mark where you get a chance to see the runners twice, also at the 18 mile point. The pub always has a fun, carnival-like atmosphere.
The Lord Nelson pub near Mudchute also has live music at the 17 mile mark and is less crowded as it is away from the main tourist hotspots.
Poplar at mile 20, is another less busy area. Head for the DLR station.
One of the most popular spots is Tower Bridge, but it gets chronically busy so be warned to fight your way through the crowds. Also avoid Greenwich town centre this year. The route will not be going round the Cutty Sark and with the foot tunnels out of action it will be a lot of hassle for spectators.
