Got a weekend packed with plans? London is a vast place, so whether you’re heading to Labyrinth on the Thames in Greenwich, UK Black Pride at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, a stand-up set at Camden Fringe or Skepta’s Big Smoke festival in Crystal Palace, there’s a high chance you’re going to have to hop on the tube to get there. 

The good news (unless you live at the east end of the Central line) is that there are relatively few planned Underground and Overground closures in London over the next three days, so your journey should hopefully be simple and swift. Here are all the ones we know about. 

RECOMMENDED: All the best things to do in London this weekend.

Central line

From 2am to 6.10am on Saturday mornings, the Central line won’t be running between Leytonstone and Loughton / Woodford (via Hainault). 

Then, from 6.10am and all day Saturday and Sunday, there’ll be no service between Leytonstone and Loughton or between Newbury Park and Woodford (via Hainault). There will be replacement buses around to get you to where you need to be instead. 

Suffragette line

The Suffragette line will be closed between Gospel Oak and Woodgrange Park all day Saturday but there will be replacement buses running between Gospel Oak and Seven Sisters (for South Tottenham) and between Walthamstow Central and Woodgrange Park.

On Sunday, it’ll be shut from Gospel Oak to Barking Riverside. 

Weaver line

There are no Weaver line services between Hackney Downs and Chingford from 12.30am to 2am on Friday morning. 

Mildmay line

On Friday, the 9.59pm train from Stratford to Richmond will terminate at Camden Road at 10.19pm and the 9.17pm service from Richmond to Willesden Junction won’t be running.
