Players take a slight right to enter {{wp|St James's Park}} in front of {{wp|Buckingham Palace}}. Two [[Chain Chomp]]s 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 {{wp|British Museum}}, eventually leading to a ramp with {{wp|The Shard}} visible in the far background. Racers take a right to {{wp|Trafalgar Square}} before eventually driving across {{wp|Waterloo Bridge}}, passing the {{wp|London Eye}}. A U-bend to the right is taken, which leads racers back on to Westminster Bridge before arriving at the finish line. | ||

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]]. 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.

London Loop returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of the third wave of the [[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 [[Tour Sydney Sprint|Sydney Sprint]] and alongside [[Tour Berlin Byways|Berlin Byways]]. | 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]]''.

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}}. | The first lap is based on the first London Loop route.

The third and final lap is a combination of London Loop 2 again and London Loop 3R. Players once again drive through St James's Park. However, the Chain Chomp has broken loose and is now roaming around, occasionally crossing onto the road. The Chain Chomp outside the park's gate has also freed itself and gone through the {{wp|Admiralty Arch}} to circle the Charing Cross. Racers, too, drive under the Admiralty Arch and go straight through Charing Cross towards the {{wp|River Thames}} (where an unchained Chain Chomp is swimming, of no consequence to the player). Players drive along the Thames and under the Waterloo Bridge before taking the right turn near the Tower of London again, whose Chain Chomp has also broken loose. They drive over the Tower Bridge again (although there is no [[Glide Ramp]] like there is in ''Mario Kart Tour''), turn right to drive on the other side of the Thames, and then head for the finish line to end the race. | The third and final lap is a combination of London Loop 2 again and London Loop 3R.

In the first lap, the second path of Leadenhall Market is blocked off with red arrows, implying the player would drive there in a later lap. However, the player never visits that area in the race again, so the route, like in ''Mario Kart Tour'', remains unused, making it the only route in the Booster Course Pass with this distinction. | In the first lap, the second path of Leadenhall Market is blocked off with red arrows, implying the player would drive there in a later lap.

Unlike other courses using arrow fields in the Booster Course Pass | Unlike some other courses using arrow fields in the Booster Course Pass, London Loop can be driven in reverse from the beginning without [[Lakitu]] picking up the player. However, this loads the third lap layout with the unchained Chain Chomps, meaning that if the player turns back around and resumes following the course normally, the Chain Chomps will rechain themselves, only to be unchained again once Lap 3 is triggered properly. | ||
