Twickenham Stadium – Until 19:00 tonight, Thursday 6 December, large crowds are expected in the Twickenham area.

Traffic levels are expected to increase in the area before and after the game. Roads likely to be affected are the A316 Chertsey Road, Rugby Road, all roads leading to Twickenham station and roads around the stadium.
Whitehall – From 09:45 until 13:00 on Saturday 8 December, Whitehall will be closed in both directions between Parliament Square and Horse Guards Avenue. This is due to a ceremonial wreath laying event.

Between 12:15 and 12:30, a group will march from Park Lane to Whitehall, via Piccadilly, St James’s Street, Pall Mall and Cockspur Street.
