Travel disruption expected in Battersea and Nine Elms this Saturday

There are likely to be a number of road closures and significant travel disruption along the route of the march between midday and approximately 5pm.

It is thought likely the event will attract around 30,000 marchers, who will cross Vauxhall Bridge and then gather near the US Embassy on Nine Elms Lane. 

The first marchers are expected to arrive in Nine Elms from 2pm onwards.

An extensive policing operation is in place to facilitate and manage the event. 

The council’s street cleansing teams will begin an area-wide clean up from approximately 5pm onwards when the marchers are expected to disperse.

What you should do

•    Carefully consider your plans in and around the North Battersea/Nine Elms area on Saturday and the impact the march may have.
•    Consider the impact on your usual activities in Battersea Park, particularly after 2pm.
•    Sign up for TfL Travel alerts so you have the very latest information on travel disruption.

What roads are particularly affected?

The marchers are expected to set off from Hyde Park and continue along Vauxhall Bridge Road en route to Nine Elms.  Side streets on the route may be closed to traffic. We expect most of those taking part in the march to leave the area via the Vauxhall Cross transport interchange – but some may travel westwards towards Battersea Park and other nearby tube and rail stations. 

What is the impact on public transport?

We expect bus diversions all along the route and additional congestion at the following:

•    Vauxhall train, tube and bus stations
•    Battersea Power Station, Nine Elms, Clapham Common and Clapham North stations on the Northern Line
•    Clapham Junction Station
•    Queenstown Road and Battersea Park stations
•    Sloane Square station (District and Circle lines)
