London's summer weather is showing no signs of letting up just yet, with tourists and locals enjoying sunny days across the city. Getting around this weekend may prove slightly more difficult than usual amid temporary closures on six TfL lines - including major track work on the Trams network.
There will also be no service between Willesden Junction and Richmond on the Mildmay line as Network Rail crews will be working on the line. This is in addition to a minor Windrush line closure in Wandsworth that requires passengers to utilise Southern Railway trains.
Elsewhere in the capital, Charing Cross and Waterloo East stations are shut across Saturday and Sunday as crews finish a three-week long programme of upgrades. Trains are still being rerouted to Victoria, Cannon Street and Blackfriars in the meantime, with other services terminating at London Bridge.

Rail travel warning
Charing Cross and Waterloo East are shut for a few more days amid a three-week closure to complete major works. Southeastern trains that usually stop at both stations are diverted to Victoria, Cannon Street or Blackfriars, with others terminating at London Bridge.
Engineers have been replacing 1,800 metres of aging track, rebuilding some platform foundations and surfaces, improving drainage, and completing repairs on the 175-year-old Hungerford Bridge.
Railway bosses say the upgrade will make the track in South East London more reliable and prevent more delays and closures in future.
