      ​@@bettyalexkollias8058 Whitehall is the center of government, at one end the Houses of Parliament up to just past Horse Guard are important government buildings - Agriculture, Home Office, Downing Street, ect. Hence protest matches and using the road for this marathon.

      I googled it apparently it started in 2015, but why do they have to do all these things in front of horseguards? The size of London surely there are better places to stage these things. I had to turn the sound right down and turn on CC because it was giving me a headache, no way I could stand to be there, I salute your dedication. Thanks for the video.

    Loved the video John, i'm happy you decided to post it after all😄😄I'm glad they decided to take the horses out to the stables (but they left the signs out🙃, probably because they were going to return after around 2 hours, 2 hours and a half when the event would have ended), but the gateman and chitsman were still at their posts. Yes, i can see the tube "traffic" is just the same as here on a normal working day😅 (it was crowded then because of the marathon, otherwise i guess it's a lot less people using the tube on Sundays). The "NASA blankets" made me burst out laughing🤣🤣🤣 I was wondering where i'd seen them before during NASA missions, and then i remembered the famous photos of the 1969 NASA Moon "landing", they used "blankets" like that😅🤣🤣
