Funeral of Baroness Thatcher

Central London Wednesday 17th April 2013

The funeral of Baroness Thatcher will take place on Wednesday 17th April.

To facilitate the security operation for the funeral procession and service there will be road closures in place from early that morning.  The route of the funeral procession from Trafalgar Square to St Paul’s Cathedral will be lined with barriers.   

Large numbers may attend, and there is the potential that this may include some protest groups. 

Road closures will be lifted as soon as is possible but this may not be until after 12noon so please pay attention to TfL information. 

It is advisable that people travelling to and around London plan their journeys as their normal routes to work may not be accessible at certain times. Check with Transport for London for the latest travel advice.
