The 2025 London Marathon is almost upon us, and whether you’re watching in person or taking part, here’s all the TfL service alterations and closures planned for the day.

Londoners travelling into the capital this weekend for the marathon should be largely unaffected by service alterations, but there are a few planned changes.

While there is expected to be good service across the underground on Sunday (April 27) there will be minor changes to DLR and Elizabeth line services on the day.

Transport for London (TfL) has asked Londoners to check before they travel across the network.
