The Easter bank holidays might still be a week away, but if you’ve got kids the fun starts pretty much now. Most schools in London are off for Easter from end-of-play Friday March 27 – and you can find a guide to all the things to do in the city over the fortnight (and there’s a version with just free stuff here).
Even if you don’t have children, there’s plenty to get up to in London on the weekend of March 28-29. The V&A has a blockbuster new show on Elsa Schiaparelli, the British Library has a new exhibition about fairy tales and Somerset House’s biannual experimental sound series Assembly is back.
There’s a lot to get you out of the house and exploring London this weekend – so, naturally, you’ll want to know about all the planned disruption on TfL services. And there’s a lot to watch out for on London’s trains and tubes, including several line closures and the shutting of the city’s biggest train station. Here’s what you need to know.
