TfL release travel advice for King Charles coronation weekend

Transport for London (TfL) has announced travel advice for the coronation weekend.

On the day of the coronation, all TfL’s public transport network will be running with no planned closures.

TfL services may be very busy, particularly during the day on Saturday but customers will be able to get to where they need to go. 

Some short-term safety measures such as queuing, temporary station or road closures, or changes to the way customers enter or exit a station may be necessary. 

Due to road closures, some bus routes in the Westminster area will be diverted or will stop short of their destination. For the latest information on how buses are running, see TfL’s bus status updates. 

Night Tube and Overground services will be running May 5 and 6. People should avoid driving in central London and use routes that avoid the area if they are not attending the events.     

It is recommended that customers plan ahead, allow more time for their journeys and use TfL’s real-time information to see how services are operating. 

Andy Lord, London’s transport commissioner, said: “We expect central London to be very busy and the large-scale events will mean road closures in central London, so I’d advise people to check before they travel. I’d also encourage Londoners and those visiting to mark the celebrations to make the most of the public transport options, as there are no planned closures.”
