Ready for the weekend? Of course you are. While you’re busy organising the group chat, booking restaurant tables and scrawling through our round-up of the best things to to in London this weekend, we’ve done the dirty work and found all the Tube disruptions you need to keep in mind if you’re gonna be out and about in the city. 

TfL has warned of five lines being impacted this weekend, while Greater Anglia has also announced Stansted Express cancellations and replacement buses that will last five weeks.

Don’t get caught off guard, these are all the planned closures and disruptions you need to know about. 

Elizabeth line

From 12.40am to 7.45am on Sunday, there will be no Elizabeth line trains between Paddington and Ealing Broadway. The last service on Sunday morning is at 12.07am and will run from Heathrow Terminal 5 to Ealing Broadway only. 

After 7.45am, services between Paddington and Heathrow Terminal 4 / Maidenhead will be reduced. Acton Mainline, West Ealing and Hanwell stations will all be closed. 

These closures are separate from the strikes planned for the Lizzie line, which start next week. Read more about those here.

Central

Central line services between Leytonstone and Hainault (via Newbury Park) are down for Saturday and Sunday. Passengers can catch a replacement bus instead.  

Waterloo and City

There’s no service on the Waterloo and City line on Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays. 

Overground 

Mildmay

On Sunday, there are no Mildmay services between Richmond/ Shepherd's Bush and Gospel Oak until 11am. There will be a special train service between Willesden Junction  and Stratford, calling at Kensal Green, Queens Park, Kilburn High Road, South Hampstead, Camden Road and all stations to Stratford. 

TfL suggests that you use the District line between Richmond and Gunnersbury all day instead, if you can.

Windrush

There are no services on the Windrush line on Saturday or Sunday between between Highbury & Islington and New Cross / Clapham Junction / Battersea Park / Crystal Palace / West Croydon. 

Replacement buses will be available during the day but at night you should use London buses or the night tube instead.
