London Road Closed: Upper Thames St

Upper Thames Street in London will be closed temporarily due to emergency roadworks, effective from 18:37 on 07 August 2026 until 23:00 on 09 August 2026. The closure affects the section of Upper Thames Street, located in the heart of London, and Transport for London (TFL) is responsible for directing the works. Motorists are advised to plan their journeys in advance, as the diversion will cause significant disruption to traffic flow.

To avoid the affected area, drivers are recommended to use alternative routes, which will add some extra time to their journeys. The most up-to-date information on traffic congestion and road closures can be found on traffic apps such as Waze and Google Maps. Motorists can also use the TFL website or social media channels to stay informed about the latest developments.

The closure is part of an ongoing effort by TFL to maintain and upgrade the road network in London. The authority has assured that the works are essential for ensuring the safety and efficiency of the road network. However, this may cause inconvenience to drivers, particularly those who rely on Upper Thames Street for their daily commutes.

Motorists are advised to check for updates before embarking on their journeys, as the situation is subject to change. Regular checks on traffic apps or the TFL website will help drivers stay informed about any changes to the road closure or diversion route. The TFL website also provides alternative route suggestions and journey planners to help drivers find the most efficient way to get to their destinations.

In addition to checking traffic apps, drivers are also advised to follow TFL's social media accounts for the latest updates on the road closure. This will help them stay informed about any changes to the road closure or diversion route. By planning ahead and checking for updates, drivers can minimize the disruption caused by the road closure and arrive at their destinations safely and efficiently.
