Non-folding e-bikes are banned on our transport network

  • This is to ensure the safety of the network for customers and staff.
  • Non-folding bikes are currently not allowed on buses or trams, and no e-bikes are permitted on the IFS Cloud Cable Car. This will remain the case.
  • They will continue to be permitted on the Silvertown Cycle Shuttle Service (when it opens on Monday 7 April), Woolwich Ferry, River services (subject to operator) and Coach services (subject to operator).

Buses and roads

Thursday 27 to Sunday 30 March
Olympia
  • From 10:00 until 17:00 each day, Olympia will host an annual event. Large crowds are expected. On Thursday and Friday, the District line will not run to Olympia, so customers will need to use London Overground services.
Friday 28 and Saturday 29 March
O2 Arena
  • From 18:30 until 22:30 each evening, the O2 Arena will host music and sporting events. Large crowds and increased traffic levels are expected before and after each event.
Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 March
City of London
  • From 05:00 until 19:30 on Saturday, and from 00:01 until 19:30 on Sunday, road closures and bus diversions will be in place around Ludgate Hill for filming. From 05:00 until 12:00, Carter Lane will be closed before the film crew move up to Ludgate Hill until 19:30 on both days.
Monday 31 March until Sunday 6 April
A12
  • The A12 will have closures and lane restrictions between 22:00 and 06:00 on the following dates while we carry out works to improve step-free access at Leyton station.
  • From Monday 31 March until Wednesday 2 April, the A12 will be closed westbound between the Green Man interchange roundabout and Eastway junction.
  • From Wednesday 2 until Sunday 6 April, the A12 will be restricted to one lane westbound for 1km west of the Green Man interchange roundabout.
Until mid-June
Gallows Corner
  • There will be a series of temporary lane closures in place at Gallows Corner junction on the A127 Southend Arterial Road and A12 Eastern Avenue, approaching and leaving the roundabout. This will reduce the road from two lanes to one.
  • During this period all routes will remain open, including the Gallows Corner flyover, and temporary footway diversions will be in place.
  • Approach roads and local roads will be very busy during the works. Significant queues and delays are expected. Journeys made before 07:30 and after 19:00 may experience less disruption.
  • This is the first step of works to renew and strengthen the ageing Gallows Corner flyover so the major structure can continue to serve Londoners reliably.
  • From mid-June until September, Gallows Corner Junction – both roundabout and flyover – will be closed to all traffic except emergency vehicles and buses for flyover replacement works. There will be local diversion routes for traffic and temporary walking route diversions in place.
Until summer 2025
A40 Westway
  • Every weekend until summer 2025, the A40 Westway will be closed westbound between Marylebone Flyover and the Westway Roundabout. The closure takes place at weekends only from 22:00 on Fridays to 05:00 on Mondays. This is while we carry out critical safety improvements.
Until mid-December 2025
Lambeth Bridge
  • Until Friday 7 February, Lambeth Bridge will be closed to all motorised vehicles and cyclists between 21:30 and 05:00 each night.
  • From Friday 7 until Monday 10 February, Lambeth Bridge will be closed to all motorised vehicles and cyclists all day in both directions.
  • From Monday 10 February until mid-December 2025, Lambeth Bridge will be closed eastbound (towards Lambeth) between 05:00 and 21:30 each day. Segregated cycle lanes will be in place and westbound traffic (towards Westminster) will be unaffected.
  • For journeys towards Lambeth, bus routes 3, N3 and C10 will be diverted via Vauxhall Bridge and Westminster Bridge. Bus routes 77, 87, 344 and N87 are likely to be affected by increased levels of traffic near Lambeth Bridge. Journeys on these routes may take longer than usual.
  • Pedestrians will still be able to use the bridge to cross the river during the closures.
  • Use alternative river crossings. This is part of safety improvement works to replace the unsignalised roundabouts at either end of Lambeth Bridge with signal-controlled junctions.

Santander Cycles

The following docking stations will be closed this weekend:

  • Concert Hall Approach, Waterloo
  • Stonecutter Street, Holborn
  • Bank of England Museum
