London travel disruption this weekend: full list of tube and train closures for May 29-June 1
If you're still on the lookout for activities to make the most of Saturday and Sunday, you're lucky to be in the country's biggest (and, we think, best) city. The film and media festival SXSW is making its London debut in Shoreditch, Imelda Staunton is currently on a West End stage, and there's an entire exhibition dedicated to sound taking place at the Barbican – basically, you're spoiled for choice.
Here's all the planned disruptions on the tube and trains in the capital for this weekend. As always, there may be delays or cancellations which happen last minute, so it's always a good idea to double check TfL's website or app before you travel.
Circle line
The entire Circle line will be out of action for one day only on Saturday May 31 until 4pm, when it will resume service as normal.
District Line
The District line will also be entirely closed on Saturday May 31 until 11am. There will be a replacement bus service, and Piccadilly line trains will also make a call at Turnham Green while the disruption is ongoing.
DLR
On Saturday May 31 and Sunday June 1, the DLR will be shut between Beckton and Prince Regent all day long. Replacement buses will run between Prince Regent and Gallions Reach, making stops in Royal Albert, Beckton Park, Cyprus and Beckton.
Hammersmith and City line
Like the District line, the entire Hammersmith and City line will be closed until 11am on Saturday May 31. Once it opens back up, service will remain halted between Edgware Road and Moorgate until 4pm.
Jubilee line
The entire Jubilee line will also be closed until 11am on Saturday May 31 . For the rest of Saturday and all of Sunday June 1, it will be part-closed between Waterloo and Stanmore – this includes the night tube on Saturday and early Sunday.
Metropolitan line
Parts of the Metropolitan line will be closed on both Saturday May 31 and Sunday June 1. There will be no trains between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Uxbridge before 4pm on Saturday. TfL directs those affected to the Piccadilly line where you'll be able to access stations between Rayners Lane and Uxbridge.
There'll be no service between Aldgate and Watford at all on Saturday or Sunday. During this period, you'll still be able to catch a train between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Amersham/Chesham, although the service will be non-stop between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Moor park.
Waterloo and City
As always, the Waterloo and City line will be closed this weekend, resuming service at 6am on Monday.
Overground
Mildmay line
A planned closure will mean that there is no service between Camden Road and Stratford on the Mildmay line on Saturday May 31 and Sunday June 1. The line is further disrupted by a reduced service between Willesden Junction and Camden Road – trains between these stations will only run once every 15 minutes on Saturday and Sunday.
It's also worth noting that on Sunday morning, the first train from Gospel Oak, at 9.15am, to Camden Road will instead run from Shepherd's Bush. The next train, at 9.27am, will run as normal, so TFL advises those affected to wait for that.
Windrush
There will be a part-closure on the Windrush line between Surrey Quays and Clapham Junction all day Saturday May 31 and Sunday June 1. A replacement bus service, which runs from Canada Water to Clapham Junction via Surrey Quays, Queens Road Peckham, Peckham Rye, Denmark Hill, Clapham High Street and Wandsworth Road, will be available.

The Projector to host a month-long celebration of local cinema and filmmakers
Cinephiles are in for a treat, especially those longing for nostalgic cinematic gems that are rarely seen on the big screen today.

In case you missed it, The Projector will return to its original home at Golden Mile Tower this August. But the good news doesn't stop there – the beloved cinema will be screening 10 compelling films, both created and handpicked by five acclaimed local directors: Calleen Koh, He Shuming, Kirsten Tan, K.

Nepo baby Bessie Carter reveals the invaluable five-word piece of advice parents Jim and Imelda Staunton gave her before she broke into the industry
Nepo baby Bessie Carter has revealed the invaluable advice her Hollywood legend parents gave her before she broke into the industry. The Bridgerton actress, 31, is the daughter of The Crown and Harry Potter star Imelda Staunton, 69, and Downton Abbey icon Jim Carter, 76. But many didn't know her parents' acting status when she rose to fame on the period Netflix show as the obnoxious Prudence Featherington. Bessie has since revealed to 9honey Celebrity the five words of advice her parents gave her as she tried to make her mark in the industry. She told the publication: 'They always just said, "follow what makes you happy", and I do think that's where abundance lies. 'When you follow what makes you happy and what lights you up, and they've led by example with that.' Bessie previously hit back against claims she is a 'nepo baby' during an interview with The Independent. Despite her parents huge successes in the world of acting, Bessie insisted she has worked for her career and 'doesn't really care' about the term 'nepo baby' being used. 'I have a lot of drive to make stuff happen myself, instead of waiting for the phone to ring,' she said. 'Some people might use that phrase (nepo baby), but I don't really care. I believe in myself and my trajectory being what it is, and I've never used my parents, ever, to get any work.' Supporting Bessie was her mother, with Imelda adding: 'There seem to be about 22 million more actors now. 'During the time of Maggie [Smith] and Robert Stephens [the late parents of the actor Toby Stephens], you could count actors with that level of celebrity on one hand. 'Now it's not unusual for children to have parents who are also actors, simply because there are so many of them.' Bessie did however admit that she's taken inspiration from her parents and their successful careers, heaping praise onto the pair. Her latest endeavour sees her star as Nancy Mitford in the new six-episode series Outrageous, which follows the lives of the Mitford sisters and is based on Mary S Lovell's biography. After the show's release, Bessie and her cast celebrated at the Sea Containers hotel with the actress put up in a luxury suite with panoramic views across London. Speaking to Tatler she was full of praise for her parents and their successful careers - and says she took inspiration from her mother Imelda for her latest role. She said of playing real people: 'We're not imitating them, but we're taking the essence of them and trying to regurgitate it as truth. 'It's something my mother had to go to town with given that the Queen was so known by everyone… she smashed it! 'I think that's such a hard line, but really doing the voice and the physicality and then bringing your own proof to it, that's the fun.'
