The London Marathon at The Stanhope Arms – running shoes optional

On the 26th of April 2026, all eyes turn to the streets of London, as London Marathon runners tear across Tower Bridge, bound their way past Big Ben and canter through Canary Wharf.

From Greenwich Park, all the way to The Mall, over 50,000 entrants will take on one of the biggest feats a person can achieve, and with the London Marathon forming 1/7th of the World Marathon Majors, this year's race is one step (or 39.000 steps) closer to their next big goal.

At Stanhope Arms, we're right in the heart of it all and we are here to celebrate with you!

Marathon, completed. Free drink, rewarded

You did it. 26.2 miles, countless blisters, and enough mental grit to fuel a small army.

The London Marathon is a spectacle, and whether you were running across the city or cheering from the sidelines, there’s one undeniable fact: marathoners deserve a reward. This year, we’re celebrating these heroes the way they deserve, with a FREE drink on us. Here’s how it works:

-Bring proof of your finish. Medal or official results from the TSC London Marathon website, along with ID.
-Head to one of our participating pubs.
-Claim your free drink.

From classic pints of Peroni Nastro Azzurro to a refreshing Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, we’ve got a drink for every kind of finisher. Fancy a spritz? Aperol or Clean Blood Orange Spritz will do the trick. Feeling fancy? A glass of Mirabeau Classic Rosé is calling your name. With so much more to choose from, the easiest part of your day will be toasting with a freebie!
