London Marathon 2025: How to get FREE food, drinks and massage oil with finishers' medal

An estimated 56,000 people will start Sunday's TCS London Marathon and the majority who make it from Greenwich to the finish line on The Mall will receive a medal that they will cherish for years to come.

But the memento is also a key to plenty of free food, drink and more across the capital in the 24 hours after the race.

A number of pubs and restaurants are offering pints, burgers and discounts for those who make it through the 26.2 mile adventure, while one shop is even offering a free bath bomb to soak tired legs.

Here is your guide to what a finisher's medal can earn on Sunday and into Monday.
