London Marathon 2016 mapped: The rise of property prices along the route from the Blackheath starting line to the Mall finish
It's not just a slog for runners around the London Marathon route this weekend.
Anyone angling to jump on the London property ladder or looking to climb it faces a steep ascent with plenty of pain, arguably tougher than a 26 mile run around the capital – emotionally and psychologically at least.

Along the route which runs from Blackheath in south east London (a no less eye-watering more than half-a-million pound for the average property) to the Mall, the average price stands at just over the price of property along the 26 mile route is likely to leave marathon runners gasping for breath (boom-tish).
