And just like that, the UK is being treated to another blissfully long weekend. With a whole extra day to fill, maybe you’ll go ham at an extreme metal festival, be drooling at an exhibition of sparkling Cartier pieces or heading out on a wholesome day trip. For those three days, the city is your oyster – as long as you can actually get to where you need to go.
We don’t want to burst your bubble, but for the bank holiday weekend there are quite a few closures and reduced services planned across the TfL network. That doesn’t mean you need to cancel anything, but it does mean that you might just have to do a bit more forward planning to save being caught out last minute.
So, here’s a breakdown of all the planned disruption to tube and train services across London this bank holiday weekend.
