Sections including The Mall and Marlborough Road are scheduled to be closed from Thursday through to approximately 18:00 on Monday, with limited crossing points for vehicles.ExCeL London – Royal Docks (29–30 April)

Official notices published in The Gazette indicate temporary traffic restrictions and works affecting areas including Brick Lane, Buxton Street, and the Flamborough Street bridge, with diversions and altered routes in place.Transport for London Engineering Works
Planned closures on parts of the Metropolitan line and other services between 27 April and 4 May may reduce rail availability, particularly affecting connections to northwest and inner London.Event Activity – The O2
