According to all I've seen, the various feeder rides will still be coming together around the point of Westminster Bridge and going over as usual. There has been a little confusion as one of the start points was due to go across London Bridge but will be going an alternative route instead.
However, this year for reasons I haven't been able to ascertain, there will be no rest stop at Forum Magnum Square. Only the Lincoln's Inn Field one. This will make life difficult for those chasing the ride. Last year it was easily possible to get from Westminster to Waterloo Bridge ahead of the pack. This time it might be more difficult. It's around three quarters of a mile from the end of Waterloo Bridge to Lincoln's Inn but attempting this on foot unless you're a decently fit runner would be a push.
At least WNBR doesn't clash with Trooping the Colour this year. That may help a little.
