This running tour brought together NextGen members for a 5km run through the Bankside area, combining fitness, networking and insights.
Along the route, attendees experienced golden-hour views across the South Bank and Embankment, while exploring the emerging developments that are helping to shape the future of Bankside and the wider area.
The morning finished at the Arbor, where members refuelled over breakfast, networked with peers, and heard more about the Bankside Yards masterplan, before visiting the Opus Sales Gallery.
