Transport for London (TfL) has reported that the majority of its services will continue running over the Christmas period, with planned closures and service changes across part of the network.
TfL services will be running from Saturday 20 December 2025 until Monday 5 January 2026, however, there will be no service across most public transport on Christmas Day and parts of the network on Boxing Day, including the Elizabeth line.
The DLR will operate an amended service from Saturday 13 December to Sunday 4 January.
Services will be running on Christmas Eve (Wednesday 24 December) but will finish early so customers should plan ahead, TfL stated.
Apart from planned closures, services will run all night on New Year’s Eve, but some services in central London will be busy and some stations may be closed at short notice or at busy times to prevent overcrowding.
Some bus services in central London will also be on diversion due to road closures from approximately mid-day.

Transport for London’s chief operating officer, Claire Mann, said: “London truly sparkles at this time of year, and we’re delighted to help everyone experience the incredible entertainment, culture, shops, and celebrations the capital has to offer.
“TfL services remain the easiest, safest, and greenest way to get around and make the most of the season.
“While the majority of the network will be running throughout the festive period, there will be some planned works and service changes, so we encourage customers to check before they travel and plan ahead for a smooth journey.”
