Palace flypast glide range

As we know, a clean subsonic jet transport will glide about 3nm/1000'.
Suppose a Spit, Hurricane or Hawk lost the donk at 1000' AGL; how far?
Just musing on how I'd plan such a flight. My guess is: one of the parks or try to judge the bridges and stick it in the Thames. Unfortunately, lots of people around in either.
