Be careful in Central London next week: G20 protests

I'm going to be avoiding Liverpool Street station next week and going to work via Whitechapel.

The G20 will be in London during 1st and 2nd April (as opposed to a quiet part of Britain where no one would bother them) and protests are planned in Central London on these days and 28 March.

According to reports, Liverpool Street, Moorgate, Cannon Street and London Bridge stations will have protestors gathering outside them on 1st April.

This could mean disruption to several tube lines. There are also reports of plans to blockade the Blackwall Tunnel in South London, and cause a scare on the Underground by leaving bags unattended.

I advise you to leave early and check Tfl's status as much as possible. If you have a mobile, subscribe to Tfl's travel alerts.

Also avoid the Custom House area as protestors will be targeting the ExCel centre on Wednesday 2nd April.

Although I have a lot of sympathy with the protests against the bankers, I hope they remain peaceful like in France.
