Buses, roads and rail services including the DLR are all expected to be much busier than usual.

TfL has laid on over 100 extra buses and "enhanced" river services to help customers get around the city. Travel Ambassadors are on hand to advise on alternative routes, but your best bet might be to walk or cycle if you are able.

Here is a walking map of central London showing the walking time, in minutes, between stops.
