The course starts on the {{wp|Westminster Bridge}}, though it faces away from [[Big Ben]], the opposite direction of London Loop and London Loop 2. Racers take a left turn and travel past the {{wp|London Eye}} before taking a right by the {{wp|River Thames}}, passing {{wp|20 Fenchurch Street|The Walkie-Talkie}} and the {{wp|City Hall, London (Southwark)|City Hall}}. Two boats can be seen floating on the river. Shortly after, the racers must take a U-bend to the left to cross [[Tower Bridge]], which has a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]] that is only usable on lap 2. A wide bend to the left around the green space of the [[Tower of London]] follows, with a [[Chain Chomp]] in the center. Players then drive back to The Walkie-Talkie before taking a right to access a path besides the River Thames. After driving below a bridge, the player takes one last left to reach the finish line, passing Big Ben.

The course also appears as '''London Loop 3R''' (reversed), '''London Loop 3T''' (with ramps), and '''London Loop 3R/T''' (reversed with ramps). In all three variants, there is a glide ramp between the green space and the Tower Bridge, which now instead has a dash panel ramp. In the T variant, the Chain Chomp in the green space is gone. In the R/T variant, racers briefly drive over the River Thames via [[Kanaami Road]] and use an additional glide ramp when returning to the track. The R/T variant is also the only track variant, and by extension, track in general, to not reappear in a future tour or tour rerun, appearing in only one [[Halloween Tour (2021)|tour]].

{{classic|Tour|London Loop}} returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of the third wave of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]''. It is the first course of the [[Rock Cup]]. The course has received significant visual upgrades, and is now set in cloudy weather. The {{wp|London Eye}} now moves, unlike in ''Mario Kart Tour''. The various barrels and crates on the course have been removed. The minimap is rotated 90 degrees clockwise and features multiple paths that are unused in ''Mario Kart Tour'', such as one to the right of Leadenhall Market and one going beneath the Admiralty Arch. This makes London Loop the second ''Mario Kart Tour'' city course to include roads that were unused at the time of their appearance in the Booster Course Pass, after {{classic-link|Tour|Sydney Sprint}} and alongside {{classic-link|Tour|Berlin Byways}}. Like {{classic|Tour|Berlin Byways}}, the previously unused roads in this course were never used in ''Tour'' prior to new content for it concluding.

The first lap is based on the first London Loop route. Racers begin on {{wp|Westminster Bridge}}, facing Big Ben. An [[arrow field]] immediately directs them to turn right and drive through {{wp|Charing Cross}}. Unlike in ''Mario Kart Tour'', racers can perform tricks off of the center of the roundabout. They can also drive the long way around the roundabout, though there is no benefit to doing so. Either way, players then drive around the front of {{wp|St Paul's Cathedral}} and come to {{wp|Leadenhall Market}}. They can still drive through it, but there is now also the option to drive on a straighter path to its right, which is unused in ''Tour''. From there, they drive through a right curve past a [[Chain Chomp]] chained outside the [[Tower of London]], across [[Tower Bridge]], and back to the starting line taking the route past {{wp|The Shard}}.
