We may have reached the final stretch of summer, and there’s plenty to do this weekend to help you make the most of the balmy weather. There’s the Lambeth Fringe, loads of art (including Van Gogh at the National Gallery) and theatre (including Mike Leigh’s immortal social satire ‘Abigail’s Party’)... but wherever you go, be warned that London’s transport network will be impacted by travel disruption.
If you are venturing out this weekend, think ahead, because there are planned closures across London Underground and Overground lines. These are all scheduled closures and changes, and allow for TfL to carry out vital works.
Here’s everything you need to know about which lines will close on which days.
