This weekend London starts to get seriously ready for Christmas. Yep, we know it’s only the start of November but you’ll already be able to see festive lights displays switched on and get your ice skates on at London rinks. In non-Christmassy stuff, Pitchfork Festival London will be wrapping up its final few days and there are still a few Bonfire Night displays taking place.
Whatever you’re doing in London this weekend, the likelihood is you’ll need public transport to get you there. Fortunately November 7-9 is actually comparatively light on planned disruption on TfL services – though some major lines will still have impacted services, and a few key stations will be shut.
Out and about in the capital over the next few days? Here’s all the travel disruption you need to know about.
