| To ensure the safety of all travellers, when using public transport you must wear a face covering over your mouth and nose for your entire journey, unless you are exempt.
When planning your journey try travelling during our quieter times, avoiding our busy periods on weekdays between 05:45-08:15 and 16:00-17:30. Follow the social distancing signage in place across the network, keeping your distance from other passengers wherever possible.
In line with government advice, please continue to work from home where possible. If you can, try walking or cycling part of your journey or getting off a stop or two early to reduce the numbers of people travelling on Tubes and buses. We have lots of online tools to help you plan your cycling journey and walking journey, plus walking times between Tube stations.
There are currently no Night Tube or London Overground Night Service and limited Night Bus services running. Please plan your return journey ahead of time.

London’s buses are returning to front-door boarding, with customers required to touch in with Oyster, contactless and concessionary cards on certain routes. We hope to have all London buses equipped with the necessary safety measures and ready for front-door boarding in the coming weeks.
On buses we have installed a protective film and sealed gaps around the driver's cab screen to protect our staff and customers. Because of this, our bus drivers are not required to wear face coverings when inside the driver's cab.
While we put these safety measures in place our buses will have varying boarding procedures depending on the route. If your bus only has a front set of doors, please continue to board and touch in via the front doors. Buses with middle doors will vary depending on the route. Please check before you travel and make sure you're aware of any new boarding procedures on your route. Once on board please follow the signs.
Due to the following works, some buses may be diverted or stop short of their normal destination. Make sure you check before you travel.
A10 Bishopgate corridor - From mid-July, as part of our Streetspace for London programme, there will be changes made to the streets surrounding Liverpool Street Station, along the A10 Bishopsgate corridor and all the way up to Shoreditch Highstreet Station. These changes include introducing bus and cycle only access to some streets from Monday to Friday 7am-7pm and will enable travellers to walk, cycle and use public transport while maintaining a safe social distance.
If you are driving through the area, but not stopping locally, please consider an alternative route to avoid delays to your journey. If you cannot avoid the area, please stay on the Inner Ring Road, rather than local streets, if possible. Please also drive carefully around these busy spaces, while pedestrians, cyclists and other traffic get used the layout changes.
Brent Cross A406 – Currently the A406 is reduced to one lane westbound at Staples Corner due to urgent repair work carried out by Thames Water on a nearby water main. Delays are expected, please plan ahead, check before you travel.
Kingston - From 6 July until 14 August there will be a series of overnight lane restrictions on the A3 between Hook Underpass and the Kingston Bypass. Works will take place Monday to Friday from 22:00 until 05:00. This is due to essential maintenance work. Please plan ahead and check before you travel, for the latest information please visit status updates.
Shoreditch - Until 30 September 2020, Shoreditch High Street will have a contra-flow reducing the width of the carriageway in both directions between Holywell Lane and New Yards Inn. This is due to Shoreditch Village development works.
London Bridge - Until 31 October 2020, London Bridge is closed to general traffic (except buses, licensed taxis, motorcyclists and cyclists). Diversions are in place and there are changes to the junction either side of the bridge. Please take extra care when driving while all users, including pedestrians, get used to the new layout.
Drivers using Blackfriars Bridge or Tower Bridge should expect queues while crossing the river. Travel outside of peak times and use alternative river crossings including Vauxhall, Westminster and Lambeth bridges where possible for an easier journey. This is for essential maintenance works being carried out by the City of London Corporation. Please visit our London Bridge works page for more information.
Check whether your bus is affected.
