Winter Wonderland
From 12:00 on Thursday 21 November until Sunday 5 January, Winter Wonderland will take place in Hyde Park. During this time, nearby Tube stations such as Green Park and Knightsbridge are expected to be extremely busy with customers arriving at and leaving the event. These stations may be closed or exit-only during busy times to help with crowd safety. The following stations are expected to be less crowded and offer more travel options, including Santander Cycles and bus services to Hyde Park:- Bond Street (step-free access to the Elizabeth line) – within a 15-minute walk to Winter Wonderland Gold and Red gates
- Paddington (for the Circle, District, Hammersmith & City and Bakerloo lines, Elizabeth line and national rail services) – within a 20-minute walk to Winter Wonderland Gold and Red gates
- Victoria (step-free access to the Victoria, Circle and District lines and national rail services) – within a 20-minute walk to Winter Wonderland Blue and Green gates
- If you’re travelling to the event then plan ahead, leave more time for your journey and check before you travel.
London Underground
For news about the imminent changes to the London Overground, please visit this blog page
Piccadilly line
Piccadilly line services are currently suspended between Rayners Lane and Uxbridge due to significant leaf fall, which can damage train wheels and cause severe disruption. We are working to restore service levels as soon as possible, but this will be weather-dependent. We continue to take steps to prevent further disruption to this section of the line, but there may be times we have to suspend it again until mid-January. Metropolitan line services are expected to run as normal between Rayners Lane and Uxbridge. Plan ahead, allow more time for your journey and check before you travel.Long Term work affecting London Underground
