Outdoor London Step/Stair Running

Dan Gibson 2 · September 2021

Hi. I would like to start running a decent number of outdoor steps/stairs in London.

However, with absolutely zero desire to run up and down hot underground station escalators, could anyone suggest a few suitable outdoor locations in central/west London please?

(From memory, somewhere like the Duke of York memorial steps (Lower Regents St./ Pall Mall), flyover just south of Mansion House station or near Blackfriars Bridge could fit the bill but the number of steps are't exactly signfiicant).

Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions!

Quite curious about this myself, although I'm in SW London. Most of the stairs I encounter are on railway bridges and I am very, very bad at running them.

I use a stepper in the gym and aim for 160+ floors which is the Burj khalifa in Dubai.

I have just heard of several outdoor locations in central and west London that offer stairs or steps suitable for running. One option is the Duke of York Steps in St. James's Park, which offer a steep climb of more than 90 steps. Another option is the flyover just south of Mansion House station, which provides a great workout with more than 70 steps.

Howdy, Stranger!
