Buses and roads

Bus and road users may be affected by the following changes this weekend. We expect to run a good service, but buses may be delayed, diverted or stop short of their normal destination.

City of London - From 08:00 on Saturday 5 until 22:00 on Sunday 13 October, Gracechurch Street will have carriageway restrictions between Fenchurch Street and Eastcheap. This is for carriageway works.

Tower Hill - From 09:00 on Saturday 5 until 16:00 on Sunday 20 October, Minories will be closed between Portsoken Street and Goodman's Yard. This is due to Thames Water works.

Westminster - From 18:00 until 22:00 on Saturday 5 October, a group will gather at Parliament Square and march to Aldwych via Whitehall, Trafalgar Square and The Strand. This is for a demonstration. Delays are expected.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - From 08:00 until 23:00 on Sunday 6 October, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will be hosting the NFL game between Chicago Bears and Oakland Raiders, with kick off at 18:00. Delays are expected before and after the game. There will be various road closures and diversions in place in the Tottenham area and around the stadium.

Hounslow - From Monday 7 until Thursday 10 October, the Hope & Anchor flyover on Country Way will be reduced to one lane in both directions between 22:00 and 05:00 each night. From 22:00 on Friday 11 until 05:00 on Monday 14 October, the flyover will be closed in both directions.

From Monday 14 until Thursday 17 October, the flyover will be reduced to one lane in both directions between 22:00 and 05:00 each night. From 22:00 on Thursday 18 until 05:00 on Monday 21 October, the flyover will be closed in both directions. This is due to maintenance work.

Central London - From Monday 7 October, there are likely to be a number of demonstrations causing disruption to roads and bus routes across central London. Disruption is likely to continue over the coming weeks.

We’re working closely with the police to manage the impact on our network. Allow plenty of time for your journeys and check before you travel. For the latest travel advice, check our status updates and travel tools page.

Santander Cycles
The following docking stations will be out of service this weekend:
  • Pall Mall East, West End - due to a power outage
  • Sackville Street, Mayfair - due to a power outage
  • Hoxton Station, Hackney - due to a power outage
  • Baldwin Street, Old Street - due to utilities works
  • Abbotsbury Road, Kensington  - due to footway works
  • Podium and Aquatic Centre, Stratford - due to a football match at London Stadium


The station building is located on the corner of Acacia Road, and Finchley Road and tube maps from late 1938 and early 1939 indicate that it was originally to be given the name Acacia Road or Acacia. This station is the nearest to Lord's Cricket Ground and Abbey Road Studios. The station is therefore not to be confused with Abbey Road DLR station in east London.
