What are you up to in London this weekend? Drinking in World Cup mania? Seeing Harry Styles at Wembley? Off to the Hayward Gallery’s new Anish Kapoor exhibition? The weather’s going to be great, so all the more reason to get out of the house.

Whatever you’re up to in the city over the coming days, the likelihood is you’ll need public transport to get you there. And if you rely on the Piccadilly line or DLR to get around, we have bad news: both services will be hugely impacted by closures on June 20-21.

Worried about getting where you need to go? Here’s a full guide to this weekend’s planned travel disruption on TfL services.
