Transport for London

London Loop

Arch bridge The London Loop, one of the Mayor of London's key routes, almost completely encircles Greater London, covering a total distance of around 240km (150ml).

The route stays as much as possible within Greater London, to facilitate use of travelcards, but it has proved necessary to venture outside in places.

The only gap in the circuit is between Sections 24 at Purfleet and 1 at Erith, where the River Thames provides a substantial barrier of almost a kilometre (half a mile) with no convenient crossing point.
