Just as a note of interest, if anyone that does not get into London wants to do a marathon on the following week then the Stratford (Shakespeare) marathon is on the following Sunday, its got a capacity of 1400 for the full marathon and 2300 for the half marathon, traditionally its been used as an overspill for the London Marathon.
A lot of people who dont get into London but want to continue training with their running partners enter it. Its pretty central, being close to Birmingham, Worcester, Cheltenham, Evesham and Warwick, they all within 30mins of Statford with good public transport links, so plenty of places to stay and lots to do for the whole family within a short distance of Stratford if you fancy making a long weekend of it.
If you do decide to go with the family and they are young, consider Warwick as ur base as Warwick castle if a fabulous place for young and old with mock medieval battles and Knights having jousting competitions
