The start (or starts to be precise, since elite men, elite women and the mass race all begin in slightly different places) in between Greenwich and Blackheath will be heaving. Your support, whether general or specific, will probably be more appreciated later on, but if you really don't want to miss kick off, get down early to stake your spot, then maybe grab a swift half at one of Greenwich's historic pubs afterwards. Transport: Greenwich/Cutty Sark DLR or Blackheath rail. (Pic: Dillon Bryden for Virgin Money London Marathon)
