London Loop is a race course in Mario Kart Tour. It is named after and inspired by London, England, and makes its debut in the city’s namesake tour, the London Tour. Currently, London Loop has three routes, London Loop, London Loop 2 and London Loop 3, each route has their own R, T and R/T variants.

Course layout

London Loop

The course begins to the right of Big Ben, followed by a gradual right next to a double-decker bus. The road then weaves its way around Nelson's Column, then makes another gradual right through Charing Cross and a part of Trafalgar Square before making a sharp left at St Paul's Cathedral. The player then reaches Leadenhall Market, which they exit after making a single slight right. After another sharp right with a Chain Chomp in a green space in front of the Tower of London, the player crosses Tower Bridge, then takes another sharp right to bypass City Hall and The Shard with the London Eye in the background. After a left sigmoid curve, the player returns to the finish line.

London Loop 2

The course begins to the right of the Big Ben on Westminster Bridge. Players take a slight right to enter the green space in front of Buckingham Palace, a few Chain Chomps are located in the green space, one in the very center, and one outside the palace. Racers drive down a long street shortly afterwards, driving past the British Museum, eventually leading to a ramp with The Shard visible in the far background. Racers take a right to Trafalgar Square, before eventually passing the London Eye. A U-bend to the right is taken, which leads racers back on to Westminster Bridge, before arriving at the finish line.

London Loop 3

The course starts on the Westminster Bridge but faces away from Big Ben, the opposite direction of London Loop and London Loop 2. Racers take a left turn and travel past the London Eye, before taking a right by the River Thames to bypass The Walkie-Talkie and the 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. A wide bend to the left around the green space of the Tower of London follows, with a Chain Chomp in the center. Players 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 finishing line, passing Big Ben.
