Transport hotspots
The Mayor's Thames Festival means that stations north and south of the river between Westminster and Tower Bridge will be busier than usual. The usual warnings about possible busy periods on the Central and Jubilee lines apply.
Events are taking place at the Olympic Park, ExCel and North Greenwich Arena. Check before you travel and consult the daily heat map.
