Prudential RideLondon cycling event will take place on Saturday 28th of July in central London and on Sunday 29th of July in closed roads in the east, central and south-west London, and in parts of Surrey.
As the London cycling event involves road closures and the London transport system will be significantly busier than usual, this can affect your travelling time to our ultrasound clinic in Harley Street.
According to Transport for London:
Road closures will impact more than the immediate Prudential RideLondon event routes, which cannot be crossed by vehicles. Drivers are advised to, wherever possible, avoid areas near and around the event routes as follows:
Roads between Tower Bridge and Commercial Street will be busier than usual, and your journey may take up to twice as long, especially between 16:00 and 20:00 on Saturday.
There will also be significant disruption on London's roads on Sunday, in particular around Battersea Park Road, the A308 in Kingston and the A13 Newham Way, where journey times are anticipated to double.
Drivers will be unable to cross the route and journeys from west to south, or southwest London will need to be made via the M25. If you must drive, please ensure you allow plenty of time and prepare to take a longer route than usual.
Bus routes will be on diversion or will finish early due to the road closures on both event days. Many central London bus routes will not serve their usual stops. You are advised to plan ahead and check publicity for more information.
Tube & Rail will be the best way to get around central London on the day. Please plan ahead and check before you travel.
Please plan your journey ahead of the event.
