Great Gorilla RunThere's some serious monkey business going on in London this September; back for its 10th year the Great Gorilla Run will be bounding through the streets of the capital. Aiming to raise money to save the world's remaining gorillas, hundreds of people will be pulling on their gorilla costumes and running, jogging or walking the 7km City and Bankside route. Expect to see many humorously adapted costumes, including cheerleading gorillas prancing across Tower Bridge and ballerina gorillas perfecting their poise by the Tate Modern. The Gorilla Organisation works on raising money to help local communities in Africa work harmoniously alongside the rainforest rather than against it, and as a result enabling the Gorillas home to remain safe and kept as it should be. Runners hoping to participate need to pay a registration fee which can be done through the website - gorilla costume is included!
 

About Tower Bridge

Competing with the London Eye for the capitals most vertiginous experience, Tower Bridge offers one of the best vantage points in the city from its spectacular high walkways, elevated 140ft above the Thames. The East Walkway boasts fantastic views of the Docklands and the elegant Canary Wharf, while from the West Walkway you can compare the mixed architectural styles of City Hall, the Tower Of London, St Paul's Cathedral, the City, Big Ben and the London Eye.
