The Diamond Jubilee celebrates the Queen’s 60 years as Monarch. Special events will take place across London from Saturday 2 to Tuesday 5 June.
Travelling during the Diamond Jubilee
To avoid delays, plan your journey in advance and check before you travel.
You can expect road and bridge closures across central London and public transport will be busier than usual. We advise you to:
- Avoid travelling through central London if you’re not attending an event, particularly on Sunday 3 June
- Visit National Rail to plan your journey into and out of London
- Buy travel tickets in advance to save time and avoid queues
- Check live traffic news and live travel news for real-time updates
- If you plan to use Barclays Cycle Hire, check the status of docking stations before you travel
