Dear Victoria, Victoria Westminster and Whitehall BID members,

We continue to work closely with our partners on arrangements surrounding Her Late Majesty’s funeral on Monday 19th September.  We will update you regularly in the coming days as arrangements are subject to late notice change.

Tomorrow, Monday 12th September (Day +3),

HM the King will attend the Palace of Westminster around the time of 10:00 – 11:00 and this may result in spontaneous closures to pedestrian and/or vehicular traffic on the route from Buckingham Palace to the Palace of Westminster and surrounding areas.

Outside of this period, the restrictions on vehicular traffic in the St James’ and Hyde Park areas remain in place. To gain access, delivery drivers will need to produce

1.     Official Photo ID - Driving licence or passport

2.     Delivery note or proof showing the venue and contact details for the delivery.

Staff on the road closures will call the venue to verify the delivery is expected.

Look Forward:

Presently planning is based upon the following expected events, however this is subject to change.

Tuesday 13th (Day +4)

Her Majesty will be flown from Scotland to RAF Northolt moving to Buckingham Palace by road. We expect there to be an impact on vehicular traffic in West London on Tuesday evening and into the early hours of Wednesday morning. The existing restrictions on vehicular traffic in the St James’ and Hyde Park areas remain in place.

Wednesday 14th (Day +5)

Her Majesty will move from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall at approximately 2pm. We expect there to be an impact on vehicular traffic in environs of Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square and Parliament Square. 

Thursday 15th (Day +6)

Her Majesty will lie in state in Westminster Hall and we expect road closures in the environs of Parliament Square.

Friday 16th  (Day +7)

Her Majesty will lie in state in Westminster Hall and we expect road closures in the environs of Parliament Square.

Saturday 17th (Day +8)

Her Majesty will lie in state in Westminster Hall and we expect road closures in the environs of Parliament Square.

Sunday 18th (Day +9)

Her Majesty will lie in state in Westminster Hall and we expect road closures in the environs of Parliament Square. It is likely further road closures will begin in Victoria, Whitehall and the Mall in preparation for the State Funeral on Monday

Foreign Heads of State and dignitaries will arrive in London and as such there may be spontaneous restrictions of vehicular and some pedestrian traffic in some areas of London, for example around Park Lane, Barbican and Regents Park areas.

Monday 19th (Day +10)

The State Funeral will take place in Westminster Abbey followed by a cortege to Windsor Castle. We expect considerable road closures throughout central London coupled with more limited closures in West London.
