TfL strike September 2025: How to navigate London travel disruptions stress-free as Tube strikes announced

From Sunday 7 to Thursday 11 September 2025, Tube services will be severely disrupted, with little to no service expected. Any services that do run between Monday 8 and Friday 12 September will start later than usual with no service before 08:00

On Tuesday 8 and Thursday 11 September 2025, there will also be no service on the DLR. Other TfL services, including the Elizabeth line, London Overground and trams, will be running normally but are likely to be extremely busy.
