Are you out and about in London this weekend taking part in the city’s Lunar New Year celebrations? You’ll want to know about the disruption that is planned for TfL services in the city.

Of course, there are plenty of non-Lunar New Year things to get excited about in the city this weekend, too. Budget-conscious Londoners can enjoy Six Nations screenings and free LBGTQI+ tours of Dulwich Picture Gallery, while there’s also the Hayward’s new Chiharu Shiota show and a ‘truly extraordinary’ revival of Terence Rattigan’s Man and Boy.

While TfL’s planned service alterations and cancellations aren’t expected to significantly impact travel in the city centre, there are still major changes to watch out for. Here’s the lowdown.
