London is in for an absolutely sizzling weekend. The capital is set to reach a blistering 33C on Saturday, so we wouldn’t blame you for keeping activity to a minimum and avoiding trains like the plague.
At the same time, though there’s tonnes of stuff going on throughout the city that will be worth the sweaty tube ride, we promise. There’s Little Simz’ Meltdown festival, the Kew Midsummer Fete, the SAFAR Film Festival, the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and loads, loads more. Plus, of course, Dua Lipa’s first ever headline shows at Wembley Stadium.
The last thing you want in this heat is having to unexpectedly replan your route and be walking around more than absolutely necessary. So, we’re here will all the information you need on planned train and tube disruptions from Friday, June 20 to Sunday June 22.
RECOMMENDED: The best things to do in London this weekend.
Dua Lipa at Wembley Stadium travel advice
For Dua Lipa’s huge concerts on Friday and Saturday, you’ll need to get to Wembley Park station (Jubilee and Metropolitan lines), Wembley Stadium station (Chiltern Main Line) or Wembley Central station (Bakerloo and Lioness lines). There’s some planned disruption on several Overground lines on the day of the first show so you may need to rethink the route you originally had planned. More details on those below.
Full list of tube and train disruptions in London this weekend
