In a city as complex as London there are often vital planned works or special events which could have an impact on transport. Here we list the major works and events that could affect your journey, and provide advice to help you plan.
For information about travel and coronavirus (including travel to London’s major vaccination centres), see our coronavirus pages.
The calendar below gives travel advice for some of London’s biggest major works. This is updated regularly with the latest information.
To see all changes that may affect your journey:

If your journey is affected by works or events, leave extra time to travel. If you can, travel at quieter times – between 08:15 and 16:00 and after 17:30 on weekdays, and before noon and after 18:00 on weekends.
