There’s no shortage of excellent stuff to see and do in London this weekend, from BFI London Film Festival and the opening of Tate Modern’s immense new ‘Nigerian Modernism’ exhibition to the delights of London Cocktail Week. If you’re heading into town for these events (or anything else), however, you’ll need to navigate some notable changes to transport services.
From Friday (October 10) to Sunday (October 12), several major London rail lines will see serious disruption – including a massive and vital chunk of the Piccadilly line, plus parts of the DLR and Overground network.
