Travel disruption in London 3 /4 August ...if you are thinking of travelling in to see the Bolshoi..

[Lynette H]

There are extensive road closures in central London on 3rd and 4th August.

 

Prudential RideLondon will take place in London on closed roads during the weekend of Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 August 2013. There will be bridge closures, bus diversions and parking restrictions.  You may not be able to cross the event route.

Thanks, Lynette.  I'd forgotten it was likely to affect ballet performances (Acosta's too, presumably).

Thanks for the heads up.... in London as tourists and will alter the itinerary slightly now.

Looking at this more closely, it looks as though disruption will be worse on the Sunday.  On Saturday, the cycle route goes from Tower Hill to St. James' Park, for the most part along the Embankment: from what's shown, I'd guess that there shouldn't therefore be a problem walking from Embankment/Charing Cross or Waterloo, but that there might be some disruption roundabout Blackfriars, for those coming in via train or tube.
