Prince Philip House – proud to be an official venue of the London Marathon
We are proud to be an official venue during the London Marathon 2026 for Age UK and Teenage Cancer Trust.
From pre-race anticipation to post-finish celebrations, it was a privilege to provide a space where people could come together, recharge, and celebrate such an inspiring achievement.
A huge congratulations to everyone who took part in this year’s London Marathon – your determination and dedication were truly inspiring. And to the charities we had the pleasure of hosting: thank you for the amazing work you do and for choosing Prince Philip House to support your marathon journey.
We loved being part of such a special day and look forward to welcoming you back again soon.
Perfectly positioned overlooking the iconic finishing stretch of the London Marathon along The Mall, Prince Philip House offered an exceptional vantage point for one of the world’s most celebrated races. This year’s marathon once again brought together elite athletes, charity runners, and spectators from across the globe, with record-breaking participation and inspiring performances across both elite and amateur fields. From dramatic sprint finishes to emotional personal triumphs, the energy at the finish line was unmatched—and our venue placed guests right at the heart of it.
As runners crossed the line after 26.2 miles, the atmosphere was electric, with crowds cheering on participants completing months of training and raising millions for charitable causes. Hosting an official venue during such a landmark sporting event allowed guests to experience not just the race, but the stories, achievements, and celebrations that define marathon day in London.
With catering by Company of Cooks, guests enjoyed a thoughtfully curated menu focused on fresh, seasonal, and sustainably sourced ingredients—perfectly complementing the spirit of wellbeing and endurance that the marathon represents.
