Planned engineering and maintenance work will affect several Tube, Overground, Elizabeth line and DLR services this weekend, and some bus routes will be diverted around events in central London and Wembley. Here’s what to expect so you can plan ahead.

- Brent Cross area, until Friday 20 November: Safety works on the A41 and A406 mean buses still serve the area, but journeys may be slower. Some buses may be diverted during overnight closures.
Event traffic around major venues, including stadiums, The O2, ExCeL and Wembley Arena, may also slow buses nearby before and after events.
