Tuesday 20th September

The start line for Palace to Palace is on The Mall near Admiralty Arch on Trafalgar Square.

Underground

There are restrictions with taking bikes on the London Underground. Use this Bicycles on the London Underground map for details on which tube lines bicycles are permitted.

The nearest Underground stations that you can take your bike to are Westminster (Circle and District), St James Park (Circle and District), and Embankment (Circle and District). All are a short cycle from the start.

Trains

The closest overground stations to the start are Charing Cross, Waterloo and Victoria. These are all a few minutes cycle from the start.

Trains from Windsor & Eton Central are operated by First Great Western. For trains to Paddington via Ealing you will need to change at Slough. It is likely that there will be strict restrictions in place for carrying bikes across the rail network and you will need a reservation for your bicycle. Please double check your plans in advance and be prepared to make alternative arrangements.

Driving

There is no parking provided at the start, but there are several car parks nearby.

Please note that if you are being dropped off at the start you will not be able to access Horse Guard Road. Instead we recommend using Waterloo Palace, Carlton House Terrace or Marlborough Road.

It is then a short 2 minute cycle to the start. We do encourage the use of public transport over driving where possible.

Coaches

We are working with a coach provider to arrange coach travel between the start and finish, both before and after the event. You can find out more below or please log into the My Registration web page and click ‘merchandise’ to purchase your coach ticket.

Getting home:

Trains

Windsor has two train stations – Windsor & Eton Riverside and Windsor & Eton Central. Trains from Windsor & Eton Riverside are operated by South West Trains and run into Waterloo via Staines and Richmond.

Trains from Windsor & Eton Central are operated by First Great Western. For trains to Paddington via Ealing you will need to change at Slough.

It is likely that there will be strict restrictions in place for carrying bikes across the rail network and you will need a reservation for your bicycle. Please double check your plans in advance and be prepared to make alternative arrangements in case of restrictions and/or disruptions.

Driving

There will be car parking facilities at the End Village so that your friends and family will be able to park close by and cheer you across the finish line. Parking is free but a suggested donation of £5 is welcome. Look out for a member of our PT team in a red t-shirt on the day to tap and donate.

To help with the planning of your day, we are offering a coach service for riders both to the start line from Windsor Racecourse and from the finish back to London. The services available are as follows:

• 5.45 Windsor Racecourse to The Mall

Coach tickets are priced at £20 each and can be bought during registration. If you didn't purchase a ticket during registration and would like one, please log into the My Registration web page and click ‘merchandise’ to purchase your ticket. Bikes will be transported in a trailer behind the coach and will be stacked in a way to prevent damage and will not be bubble wrapped. Please be aware that coach places are for riders only. Coach tickets will not be sent out. Your name will be checked on the list as you board the coach.

If you are taking part in the 90 Ultra mile ride we recommend taking the earliest coaches at 5:45 to allow plenty of time to get to the start line. If you are signed up for the 45-mile Classic you can sign onto any of the coaches from 6am onwards. If you think you might take a little longer to complete the ride we strongly recommend taking an earlier coach so you have more time to complete the event.

On the day, please meet at the Coach Point at Royal Windsor Racecourse 30 mins before your departure time to allow time for bikes to be packed into the trailer. This will be clearly marked by a flag and a map will be sent to participants ahead of the event. Bikes will be stacked in a way to prevent damage and will not be bubble wrapped.

Please arrive around 15-minutes before your start time. Your bib number and timing chip will be posted to you in advance so there is no need to register on the day.

Palace to Palace is not a race however we will be using chip timers in order to ensure all riders are tracked from start to finish. 

Please note, the finish festival closes at 17.00 so please do bear this in mind when selecting your start time.

There are three water stops along the Classic 45-mile route and four along the Ultra 90-mile route. These are shown on the route maps; 45-mile or 90-mile. We recommend that you check the map before you start to make sure you have enough water to last you between the stops.

Refreshments will be available on the course and at the end village. There will be plenty of water provided at the water stops too. In a bid to help reduce the use of plastic we will not be providing plastic water bottles at this year’s event. Instead we encourage all riders to bring your own water bottle to fill up.

At the end village there will be concession stands with food and drink available to buy, and we recommend that you bring some of your favourite snacks on route.

Yes, we provide toilets at each of the water stops and at the finish. There are also public toilets available at the start in St. James's Park.

There will be bike mechanics available en route so if you do have any concerns about your bike they will be on hand to check it over. You'll be given an emergency contact number on the day for any serious problems but we do advise that you carry a basic puncture repair kit, as it might take a while for our mechanics to get to you during busy times.

The end village will be located at Royal Windsor Racecourse. The address is Maidenhead Road, Windsor, Berkshire, SL4 5JJ.

We recommend that they meet you at the finish so they can cheer you on as you cross the finish line and watch you collect your medal. There is a lot happening at our end village this year including fairground attractions and refreshment stalls, so please encourage your friends and family to meet you at the end.

There is plenty of parking at Royal Windsor Racecourse, so we do encourage your family and friends to meet you there and enjoy what's on offer at the end village, while you lay back and relax after your ride!

We have created our Finish Festival as the perfect area for you to celebrate your achievement with friends and family. Once riders cross the finish line at Windsor Racecourse, you can enjoy food, drinks and activities. Activities include hospitality marquees, sports massages, face painting, children's entertainment and more. If you have purchased more than 20 places for your employees, you will automatically have access to an area where riders can meet. Otherwise, it’s back to basics, ‘let’s meet by the big flag!’

Corporate partners buying over 20 places will automatically receive a space in our Partner Village. This is an area with your name on it, where your riders can come together to celebrate a job well done. There is limited availability, so this is managed on a first come, first served basis.

You can pre-order food and drink for your team from one of our hospitality packages. This will be served in your space in the Partner Village. Or your team can purchase their own food and drink from vendors at the Finish Festival.

We are offering coach services from Windsor Racecourse to the start line in the morning or from the finish back into London in the afternoon. You can read more about the coach service under further up the page under ‘on the day’. Coach tickets are £20pp.
