Route map and temporary diversions

The torch will be coming into the borough from Sutton at approximately 3.30pm and will leave Merton into Wandsworth at approximately 5.30pm. We regret that we cannot give more specific times for locations along the route as we would not wish to disappoint any residents with incorrect - or not specific! information. However we do know that the torch will cover 6 miles of road through the borough so there will be plenty of opportunities to see the spectacle.

Picnic and party time

There will be four Torch Relay picnic parties along the route, where you can go after the torch has passed.

Bring your picnic and enjoy fun activities including music, crafts, and entertainment.
