Weekly travel update to help you get around London this weekend, 18-19 June. Most of the network will be open with services running as normal, but please check if any of the following affect you.



Events and demonstrations in central London and Westminster

On Saturday, there are separate events and demonstrations taking place at various times throughout the day. From 07:00 until 16:30, buses will be on diversion or stop short of their destination. Roads in the area will be heavily congested so please avoid driving in the area and seek alternative routes. The Tube will be the best way to get around central London, although Westminster, Charing Cross, Green Park, Hyde Park Corner, Embankment and Temple Tube stations may be busier than usual due to their proximity to the affected areas.
You are advised to plan ahead and allow plenty of time for your journey. For more information, including a list of affected roads and bus routes, please visit tfl.gov.uk/weekend
