3Run demonstrated their acrobatic skills at London Bridge and Monument stations – with the slogan that London’s stations are a ‘hop, skip and a jump’ apart when travelling on foot.
The stunt was part of Walk to Work Week and TfL’s Get Ahead of the Games campaign which has also created to help with travel during the Olympics.
While 3Run perfomed, TfL handed out free local walking maps to commuters.
Ben Plowden, director of planning for TfL Surface Transport, said: "London is going to be transformed into a gigantic sporting and cultural venue at Games-time, so London’s transport networks will, at certain times and in certain places, be exceptionally busy.
"We aren’t expecting Londoners to recreate the amazing feats of acrobatics that we’ve seen here this morning but the performance demonstrates in an engaging way just how quick and easy it is to walk between busy stations instead of waiting for a tube or train. Many people don’t realise how short distances are between many places in the capital – for example, it take just six minutes to walk from London Bridge train station to Monument, and there are 47 tube journeys in central London that can be walked in under ten minutes."
