London travel disruption this weekend: full list of tube and train closures for February 28-March 1 2026

What are you up to in London this weekend? Exploring Tracey Emin’s blockbuster new Tate show? Grabbing five-star Thai food at Kruk? Catching the ‘Ramses and the Pharaohs’ Gold’ exhibition at Battersea’s NEON?

Whatever you’re seeing, hearing, eating or drinking in the capital over the next few days, you’ll want to know about planned TfL disruption. And there’s a lot to watch out for: several tube lines (and one Overground route) will be hit by severe closures across both days of February 28-March 1.

Major disruption on the Bakerloo, Circle, District, Hammersmith & City and Lioness lines will impact travel in west, central and east London, while service changes on Sunday March 1 will hit Elizabeth line, DLR and various Overground services. Here’s what you need to know.

RECOMMENDED: The London Underground’s Piccadilly line will be almost completely shut for two weekends in March.
