London fireworks: All the roads and bridges that are closed in London today
Several roads and bridges will be closed in central London today (December 31st)
Several closures are in place as London prepares for its annual New Year’s Eve celebrations.
Roads and bridges in central London will be closed this afternoon (December 31st), so set up for the annual New Year’s Eve fireworks display can take place.
The roads and bridges will remain closed tonight, so spectators can enjoy the show over the River Thames from a safe distance.
Road closures mean, there may be diversions to bus services and black cabs may need to take alternative routes.
From 2pm, some bridges in central London will be closed to all traffic.
If you need to cross the river in central London while bridges are closed, use Tube services, which will run all night, advises TfL.
