BEWARE: If you're planning on coming to London today to see an art exhibition, you need to be aware that:
- There is no service on the following tube lines (due to TFL tube technology update) until at least 3pm this afternoon:
- Circle;
- District;
- Hammersmith & City;
- Jubilee;
- Metropolitan and
- lots of tube stations are closed for various reasons
- however the Northern, Central and Elizabeth lines remain open all day and City Thameslink is always a good option
- This is the TFL Route Planner
- There is a Pro Palestinian March from Hyde Park to the American Embassy which passes right next to Victoria Station.
- There is an Armistice (today and tomorrow) Exclusion Zone around the Cenotaph and other key sites in and around Whitehall
- There are going to be a lot of controls around Trafalgar Square which is designated as part of the "dispersal area"
- Lots of controls around the Lord Mayor's Parade in the City of London
- There is a very significant increase in police controls with a view to avoiding disturbances and keeping the peace
I'm not a fan of the Mail but they do seem to have the best map of what's going on in Central London
I find it absolutely amazing that so much disruption can be caused to ordinary people / residents / visitors and there is no one website which provides clear, transparent information to those trying to visit and/or move around London.
PS APOLOGIES to subscribers on Mailerlite - this post should have been mailed to you at 9am this morning - but for some reason Mailerlite decided not to do so - and didn't send it at 10am either. I find the way Mailerlite plays up on occasion is making me want to look at alternative options. Such a pity Feedburner disappeared - so much more reliable
