London travel disruption this weekend: full list of tube and train closures for March 7-8 2026

Heads up, Londoners – the first of several weekends’ worth of major travel disruption is upon us. On March 7-8 there’ll be the near-entire total of the Piccadilly line, as well as shut stations for huge sections of the Circle, Hammersmith & City and District lines. And that isn’t all you need to watch out for over the coming days.

With all the travel disruption planned for TfL services, it could be tempting to stay at home (or stay local) in the capital this weekend. But there is so much to get out to see and do in London on March 7-8. A ‘storming stage debut’ in the West End, extraordinary photography in Soho, a ‘Wallace and Gromit’ exhibition and French-style Korean nosh in Stoke Newington.

Here’s everything you need to know about TfL’s planned tube and train closures in London this weekend.

RECOMMENDED:
🚇 The London Underground’s Piccadilly line will be almost completely shut for two weekends in March.
