Her Majesty will lie in state in Westminster Hall and we expect vehicular road closures to expand.
It is likely further vehicular road closures will begin from mid-morning 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 we expect spontaneous restrictions of vehicular and some pedestrian traffic in and around the Park Lane, Mayfair and Kensington areas.
Monday 19th (Day +10)
The State Funeral will take place in Westminster Abbey followed by a cortege to Windsor Castle travelling via Wellington Arch. We expect considerable vehicular road closures throughout central London coupled with more limited vehicular closures in West London.
Pedestrian Access
There are currently no anticipated restrictions on pedestrian access. However, it may be necessary to implement spontaneous restrictions on pedestrian access for safety or security reasons. We do expect there to be pedestrians restrictions in Parliament Square, Whitehall and environs on Monday 19th September.
