Hi LJ i went last year when the start/finish was on embankment just before westminster bridge.The crowds there were about 8 deep so not too bad,you might want to take some food/snacks/drink as last yr there was no refreshment stalls also no portaloos you had to find a pub or underground station if you needed the loo

how early should i really get there to get a half decent place? ie near the front of the crowd?

Depends where on the course you plan to be. the start/finish area will be busy as will the turn around at the tower. I turned up 2hrs early last year and it was only 2/3 deep at the start finish, i plan to keep on the move this yr between Whitehall and embankment

Are you not already camping out?
