London travel disruption this weekend: full list of tube and train closures for March 21-22 2026

Between closures at Liverpool Street, the near-total shutting of the Piccadilly line and partial closure of the likes of the Metropolitan, District and Hammersmith & City lines, it’s been a hectic month for navigating the capital at weekends. In some good news, next week’s tube strikes have been called off. 

But none of that should stop you from getting out and enjoying London this weekend. On March 21-22 there’s stuff to explore like David Hockney’s new free Serpentine exhibition, movies at BFI Flare, London Eid Fest and the National Theatre’s huge new production of Summerfolk.

Here’s what you need to know about planned tube and train closures on TfL services in London this weekend, and planning around them.
