Transport for London - Weekend travel advice

 



Weekend travel information

 
Dear Mr Grantham,

If you are out and about this weekend, please note that there are planned closures taking place on certain parts of the network. 

You must wear a face covering when using any TfL service or station, unless you are exempt. Those who do not comply could be prevented from entering the network or asked to leave our services.
 

Our TfL Go app will help you plan your journey and show you the quieter times to travel. It also shows how busy Tube stations are throughout the day.

Our services are well ventilated with fresh air, and we ask that you please continue to keep windows open on buses. You can find out more about what we are doing to keep our services clean.

London Underground

 

Tube strike

There is planned strike action every Friday and Saturday night between 20:30 and 04:29 the following morning until Sunday 19 June.

If these strikes go ahead, normal services are expected on the Victoria line, while we expect the Central line to run a regular service through central London, with at least two trains per hour.

Customers using Victoria or Central line services on Friday and Saturday nights between 19:00 and 06:00 the following morning are advised to check before they travel. Customers can use the TfL Go app to check when the next services will be.

Buses and roads

The following closures will be in place for the event from the following times: 02:30 Pall Mall East; 04:30 Duncannon Street; 05:00 Pall Mall and Strand; 07:30 various closures in the City of London Area; 08:00 Kingsway, Fleet Street and Holborn with traffic of a suitable height still able to use the Strand Underpass, except between 08:50 and 11:40.

All closures are scheduled to be removed by 13:45, with the exception of Pall Mall East which will reopen by 15:30, Whitehall and Horse Guards Road which will reopen at 16:30 and Waterloo Place which will reopen by 22:00. There is likely to be traffic disruption south of the river, as far north as the A501 Marylebone Road, east of the City of London, and to the Victoria area in the west.

Until Friday 11 February

Until Friday 11 February, there will be a series of lane closures and temporary lights on the A5 Kilburn High Road at the junction with Oxford Road and Greville Road, while the London Borough of Camden carry out improvements for cyclists. Two-way traffic will be maintained with the lights allowing one direction to move at a time. There will also be no access into Oxford Road or Greville Road from the A5. Local diversions will be in place.

During the works significant delays to your journey are expected, especially at peak times. Please check before you travel, leave more time for your journey and use alternative routes. 

Until late April 2022

There will be lane closures on both approaches to Rotherhithe Tunnel while we install overheight barriers to enforce the existing height restriction. The barrier will be operational on the north side by late March, and by late April on the south side.

While the works take place, delays to enter the tunnel, especially at peak times, are possible. You are advised to plan ahead and use alternative river crossings wherever possible. Access through the tunnel for those walking will not be affected. 

If your vehicle is more than 2 metres (6'6") high, 2 metres (6'6") wide or is a goods vehicle weighing more than 2 tonnes (gross vehicle weight) then it is not safe for you to travel through the Rotherhithe Tunnel and you could be fined up to £160 each way.

For the latest information on how roads are operating in your area, check before you travel.

Until summer 2022

Until summer 2022, there will be a series of overnight lane closures and weekend directional closures on the A40 Westway while we carry out essential maintenance work. Plan ahead and check before you travel. For more details, visit our A40 Westway travel advice page
