Victoria Coach Station, Santander Cycles, rental e-scooters and Dial-a-Ride along with taxi and private hire services will be available throughout the festive period including on Christmas Day. Winter Wonderland will operate as a ticketed event again this year and will continue to be open to the public until Tuesday 2 January For a quieter journey, customers can travel to and from Bond Street, which is within a minute walk of Hyde Park, or Victoria and Paddington, which are within a minute walk of Hyde Park.
Services during the festive period are typically quieter so TfL and Network Rail take this opportunity to make improvements to rail networks when it is expected to least inconvenience customers.
These works include improvements to track, signals and stations as well as bigger schemes including HS2. Whether you are coming to gaze at the fabulous Christmas lights, grabbing some gifts for family or loved ones, or making the most of the many pubs, restaurants, theatres and entertainment venues, or attending a sporting event, you can rely on TfL services to help you get there and make the most of your trip.
We will be welcoming everyone with cheer and do all we possibly can to ensure that they can travel safely and smoothly. Simply touching in and out using a contactless or Oyster card means customers only pay for the journey they make. People driving during the festive period are advised to plan ahead as planned works could mean there will be diversions along routes in central London.
There are also planned engineering works on National Rail services, including closures at Fenchurch Street, Kings Cross and Paddington mainline stations. Customers planning to use National Rail services are also advised to check before they travel at www. Rail UK, from Rail Media, is updated regularly with news, views and features.
