Which London stations are shut or closing soon? Your Tube and train travel guide

A section of the Northern Line is closed every weekend for the rest of June, with many overground stations also affected.

Five stations will temporarily close because Colindale is getting one big glow-up, on June 22-23 and 29-30.There will be major delays to the Elizabeth line, DLR, and London Overground, as well as six Tube lines that will be impacted, including the entire closure of the Hammersmith and City line.

Commuters will have to use the bus on numerous routes instead. The disruptions are due to track work, Network Rail maintenance, and even some HS2 construction.

The Piccadilly Line is also set to close later this year as part of TfL upgrade plans.

£2.9 billion is expected to be spent on the project, and the upgrades will see brand new trains and a new look.

The first of the new trains for Piccadilly will arrive in London this year for testing before being properly introduced in 2025.

Here is a complete list of Tube stations that will not be running at full service in the months ahead.

Hammersmith and City Line

TfL announced that 'track works' kept the Hammersmith and City line closed on the weekend (June 15 and 16).

This weekend, there will be a dedicated Circle line service that travels via Victoria from High Street Kensington to Barking.

On the circle line, there won’t be any service between Tower Hill and Hammersmith.

It is recommended that passengers make use of alternate Tube, Elizabeth Line services, or local bus routes.

District Line

There will be no service between Edgware Road and High Street Kensington on the District Line due to track construction. Instead, travellers should take local bus lines or other Tube services.

Metropolitan Line

Due to track repairs, there won't be any service on the Metropolitan line between Aldgate and Baker Street.

Jubilee Line

Due to track construction, the Jubilee Line will not stop at Baker Street during Friday night tube hours. On Saturday morning, from 2.15am to 3.45am, Baker Street will not be serviced by Night Tube services. Opt for local bus routes or substitute Tube services.

London Overground

From today until Thursday (June 17 to 20), there will be no service between Highbury & Islington and New Cross/New Cross Gate after 9.15pm each night, no service between Surrey Quays and Clapham Junction after 9.15pm each night, and a reduced service between New Cross Gate and Crystal Palace/West Croydon after 9.15pm each night.There will be many delays for the London Overground on various routes.

There is expected to be no service between Hackney Downs and Cheshunt/Enfield Town, and no service between Willesden Junction and Shepherd's Bush on Sunday.

On the same day, there will be no service between Richmond and Gospel Oak until 11am, no service between Richmond and Willesden Junction after 11am, no service between Euston and Willesden Junction after 11am, and trains to/from Chingford will not stop at Bethnal Green before 11.30pm.

Elizabeth Line

From today, Monday, June 17, daily from 10pm, there is a reduced service between Maidenhead/Heathrow T4 and Ealing Broadway. After 10.45pm every night, trains will not stop at Acton Main Line, West Ealing or Hanwell.

DLR

On Friday, June 21 and Tuesday, June 25, DLR services will stop running at 10.30pm.

Piccadilly Line

The Piccadilly Line will be shut as it undergoes upgrades for new trains and a new look.

TfL have not decided when the service will shut.

Mayor Khan told the London Assembly: "In preparing for the new Piccadilly line trains, there will be closures on the line for both infrastructure enhancements and testing the new trains. The dates of these closures are being agreed at the moment.

"An integrated customer communications plan is also being developed. Customers can sign up for email updates related to closures on the TfL website"

Colindale Station, part of Northern Line

Until December, Colindale station will be closed for a significant capacity expansion that will involve the installation of step-free access.

Customers are encouraged to use the bus to Burnt Oak or Hendon Central stations during the closure, or to Kingsbury in order to access the Jubilee line. As an alternative, customers can go to Hendon or Mill Hill Broadway to board a Thameslink train.

Brent Cross, Hendon Central, Burnt Oak and Edgware, Northern Line

In order to complete the work at Colindale Station, four other Northern Line stations will be shut every weekend in June, from 22-23 and 29-30.

For the Northern line, take local bus route 204 to/from Burnt Oak station or bus route 186 to/from Hendon Central station. In addition, bus routes 32, 142, 186, 303, and 324 connect to adjacent Tube or Thameslink stations.

Additionally, for pertinent trips, fares on bus route 186 between Mill Hill Broadway and Hendon Central stations will be automatically reimbursed. An extra bus route, NL6, will operate between Colindale and Hendon Central during weekday peak hours. This route will not charge for travel.

Kentish Town station, part of Northern Line

While station upgrades, including the replacement of escalators, are being carried out, Kentish Town station will be closed and Northern line trains will not stop there until after the summer.

TFL said due to other “unrelated work” that needs to be carried out at the station, Kentish Town will not be in use until September. Other maintenance repairs that will be carried out include deep cleaning of the station, painting and installing new floor and wall tiling.

Central line

Londoners may have noticed a reduced service on the Central line since November 2023.

It’s not clear when Central line services will return to normal, with trains now running every 15 minutes. There is crowding on the London Tube's longest line as a result of the 15-minute delays.

Due to a persistent lack of trains, the line has occasionally only been able to run around half of the 78 trains needed to run a peak service.

TFL says the disruptions are likely to continue for weeks, but they are trying to remedy the situation as quickly as they can. TfL commissioner Andy Lord acknowledged that a lack of money for frequent "heavy overhauls" over the past few years may cause the shortfall of trains to spread to other lines, including the Bakerloo, Northern, and Piccadilly, before its new trains arrive in 2025.
