IMPORTANT UPDATE: The tube strikes planned for November 7 and 12 will no longer take place after ASLEF called off industrial action following last ditch talks and an ‘improved offer’ from TfL on November 5. The London Underground will now run as normal on those days.
Thought we were finally free of strikes? We hate to burst your bubble but London is set to soon be hit with more industrial action on the Underground. RMT strikes have been called off last-minute today (November 1) but two strikes by ASLEF drivers remain scheduled to go ahead.
The action begins next Thursday (November 7) and will continue on Tuesday November 12. It’s a good idea to check your map app of choice well in advance of making your journey to avoid any disappointment.
Worried about transport around the capital during the upcoming strike period? Here’s our guide to getting around London on strike days in November.

What dates are the tube strikes in November?
Now that the RMT strikes have been called off, only two days of action are scheduled by ASLEF. Those are:
- Thursday, November 7: No services
- Tuesday, November 12: Severe disruption, any services that run will start late and finish early
How to travel around London during the tube strikes
The Overground, Elizabeth line, DLR and London buses should all be operating as normal, albeit with some disruption to accommodate more passengers. Those services are expected to be much busier, so make sure to factor in some extra time to get to where you need to be.
TfL advises that you walk or cycle wherever you can. If you need to use public transport, you can use TfL’s journey planner to get up to date info on your route.
