(Picture: PA Archive)Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral will take place on Monday September 19 at Westminster Abbey.
Thousands of mourners are expected to head to Westminster to pay tribute to the late Queen as she is laid to rest and, as a result, public transport in London is expected to be exceptionally busy.
Road closures will mean that buses and cycle routes will be diverted and walking through London will take longer than usual.
Certain Tube stations in central London will also be affected, with some closing and others remaining open for exit only.
In a statement, Andy Byford, Commissioner of Transport for London, said: “We are doing everything we can to keep our city moving and ensure that people can travel safely over the long weekend, including cancelling all planned engineering works and enhancing some services.”
Find out below how London’s public transport will be affected on Monday for the Queen’s funeral.

Green Park station will be open for exit only between 10am and 10pm until Monday September 19. Passengers are advised to avoid this station if possible out of consideration for people who need step-free access.
