Travel Information

Many roads around Putney Embankment are closed to general traffic on the day of the race and road access to the river declines as you move further towards the start. If you do decide to drive to the Women's Head, please car pool if possible and allow extra time to get from your parking spot to the river.

Expansion of ULEZ zone in October 2021

From the 25th October 2021, the Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ) is being expanded to all areas within the North and South Circulars which will impact anyone travelling to the WEHoRR course by road. Not all vehicles will be affected although it is likely to affect towing vehicles. Please see the TFL website for more information, including how to pay the charge.
