After a rainy, blustery week, the weather in London is finally clearing up this weekend. Highs of 11C and (mostly) clear skies will embrace the capital over the coming days, the perfect setting for a mid-autumn stroll.

Not liking that nip in the air? The weekend of October 24-26 will also boast loads of indoor things to see and do, from London Literature Festival and Doc ’n Roll Film Festival to cinemas showing Guillermo del Toro’s new spooky blockbuster Frankenstein.

Whatever you’re up to in the capital on the coming days, the likelihood is you’ll need to use public transport to get you there. And there’s a lot to know about when it comes to disruption on TfL services this weekend, with significant disruption on the Bakerloo, Circle and District lines, and various Overground services. Here’s what you need to know to navigate the city stress-free.
