The prologue route will take in "Trafalgar Square, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park and The Mall," predicted The Guardian.

"The preferred stage-one route would provide the event with spectacular backdrops such as Whitehall, Big Ben, the London Eye, St Paul’s Cathedral, the Tower of London and Tower Bridge."
