Plan for busy public transport in London
London’s transport system is particularly busy during this period, with many tourists using buses and the Underground. As of late August 2026, you may encounter longer than usual wait times and crowded trains. To ease your experience, use mobile applications for real-time updates on service disruptions and consider scheduling travel outside peak hours. If you prefer a more leisurely approach, consider travel in the fall.
