Guys, what should I do in London this coming Sunday and Monday? Zones 1,
2 & 3. Thanks!


The obvious suggestion is that on Monday you could ride on the
extended East London Line, which opened for a 'preview' service today
- note that there's no service on Saturday or Sunday, and it finishes
at 8pm. Also bear in mind that the North London Line (NLL) isn't
running at the moment east of Gospel Oak (bustitution in effect
throughout) - actually just checked and the whole NLL is closed (i.e.
Richmond - Stratford). Anyhow, point being, there's no interchanging
between Dalston Junction (ELL) and Dalston Kingsland (NLL).

Which prompts me to say that, whatever you're thinking of doing, check
what is and isn't running first over the long bank holiday weekend -
this is the Tube's weekend closures:

You could also try the Southeastern highsoeed service between
Stratford and St Pancras - important to note however that (normal)
Travelcards are *not* valid, so you'd have to buy an extra ticket.
Alternatively you could just visit Stratford International station via
the bus link from Stratford (Regional) station - notionally you're
supposed to be travelling on the Highspeed service if you get on the
bus link, but no-one will be that fussed if you don't.

And the Vaisakhi celebration is in Trafalgar Square on Sunday.
