Tour London Loop
Template:Racecourse London Loop is a race course in Mario Kart Tour. It is named after and inspired by London, England; due to this, it was the signature course of the London Tour, the tour that introduced the course. The course also appears as London Loop R (reverse), London Loop T (with ramps), and London Loop R/T (reverse and with ramps). This course is favored by Red Koopa (Freerunning), Daisy (Holiday Cheer), Luigi (Classic), Peach (Wedding), and Dixie Kong.
Course layout
The course begins to the left 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.
