District Line closed between Edgware Road and Wimbledon this weekend
5 September 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
Chiswick residents travelling by Tube this weekend should plan ahead: the District Line is running no service between Edgware Road and Wimbledon on both Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 September.
Rail replacement bus services are operating along the affected section, though journey times will be longer than usual. For those heading between Fulham and Crystal Palace on Saturday, TfL advises it may be quicker to make your way on foot to or from Hammersmith and pick up a service there, rather than rely on the replacement buses.
The District Line is one of the main arteries for Chiswick residents commuting or travelling into central London, and closures of this kind — typically for engineering or infrastructure maintenance — are usually scheduled during lower-demand weekend periods to minimise disruption across the week. Services at Gunnersbury, Kew Gardens, Richmond and Turnham Green stations are all within the affected zone, so allow extra time if you are heading out today or tomorrow.
Full status updates and alternative route options are available on the TfL service status page.
