The Queen's funeral which will be held on Monday, September 19, is expected to spark more road closures in London.

Exact closures for this date are yet to confirmed, but it's likely that part of the A3212 and the whole of Parliament Street will be closed.

The closures are to enable people to make a safe journey from Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey.

People are warned to "plan ahead" if they are visiting or travelling through London this week or on the day of the funeral.

A spokesperson for Transport for London said: "London, and many other locations hosting ceremonial events associated with the State Funeral, will be exceptionally busy".

Tube stations such as Hyde Park Corner, Green Park, Charing Cross, St James’s Park and Westminster are also likely to be affected, with people being advised to use other tube stations like Victoria and Piccadilly Circus instead.

Anyone travelling in for the lying in state have specifically been asked to avoid Green Park station, which already closed temporarily over the past weekend due to overcrowding.

The Elizabeth line will be offering extra transport options by running a special service with 12 trains per hour on the central section (Paddington-Abbey Wood) on Sunday, September 18.
