Find out the best way to travel to the BDC during the planned strikes across the London Underground network in September 2025.

Planned Strike Action

Transport for London have detailed advice regarding planned strike action that will impact the London Underground network in September. Strikes are currently expected on the Tube and DLR as follows:

  • From Sunday 7th to Thursday 11th September 2025, Tube services will be severely disrupted, with little to no service expected.
  • Any services that do run between Monday 8th and Friday 12th September will start later than usual with no service before 08:00.
  • On Tuesday 8th and Thursday 11th September 2025, there will also be no service on the DLR.

Other TfL services, including the Elizabeth line, London Overground and trams, will be running normally but are likely to be extremely busy.

We will update this page as and when we get further information,  but for more information on the strike action, visit the Transport for London website.
