London is hot again! And with only a few weeks of summer remaining, you better be making the most of it. The weekend is your chance to get out into the city and revel in all the brilliant food and culture it has to offer – like dancing at the South Facing Festival in Crystal Park, dining at the new Speedboat Bar in Notting Hill or sitting down for some comedy in Camden.
However you plan to fill this weekend, you’ll probably need to use the tube at least once or twice. The last thing you want is to discover last minute that the train you wanted to get is cancelled – so to help you plan ahead, we’ve put together a list of all the closures that TfL has scheduled over the next few days.
From shutdowns of entire Overground lines to cancelled Piccadilly services, here are all the closures and disruptions happening across London’s tube and train network this weekend.
RECOMMENDED: The best things to do in London this weekend.
Bakerloo line
There’ll be no Bakerloo trains running between Queens Park and Harrow & Wealdstone on Saturday or Sunday. There’s also no Lioness line between Euston and Watford Junction (more on that below) so you’ll need to you Southern services – which run on Saturday only – or London North Western Railway, which will be available both days. There will also be a replacement bus that you can use.
Piccadilly line
Between 12.30am and 6am on Saturday, you won’t be able to get the Piccadilly line between King’s Cross St Pancras and Cockfosters. There’ll be a replacement bus running between Finsbury Park and Cockfosters instead.
Then, from 6am on Saturday and for the rest of the weekend, there will be no Piccadilly services between Wood Green and Cockfosters. You can get the replacement bus PL5 instead. There’ll also be no service between Rayners Lane and Uxbridge but you can hop on the Metropolitan line instead.

DLR
On both Saturday and Sunday, there will be no DLR service between Poplar and Beckton. A replacement bus will be running instead between Canary Wharf and Gallions Reach via Blackwall (for Poplar), East India, Canning Town, Royal Victoria, Custom House, Prince Regent, Royal Albert, Beckton Park, Cyprus and Beckton.
Overground
Lioness line
The entire Lioness line (from Euston to Watford Junction) will be shut across the weekend. TfL recommends that you use local bus services for South Hampstead and Kilburn High Road, Southern services for Wembley Central, Harrow & Wealdstone and Watford Junction (Saturday only) and London North Western Railway services for Euston, Harrow & Wealdstone, Bushey and Watford Junction. Replacement bus service 718 will also be running between Queen’s Park and Watford Junction.
Mildmay line
You won’t be able to catch a Mildmay train between Clapham Junction and Willesden Junction on Sunday. Southern Railway services won’t be running that day either, so you should use local buses.

No Suffragette trains are running between Barking and Barking Riverside on Sunday. There will also be a reduced service between Gospel Oak and Barking, with trains only running every 20 minutes.
Weaver line
The whole of the Weaver line will be shut on on Sunday morning until 10.15am.
