Night Tube cancellation between Finchley Road and Stratford
Finchley Jubilee Line Weekend Closure October 3-4
Engineering works will affect services between Green Park and Canary Wharf, impacting night tube.
The suspension is part of scheduled track work on the Jubilee line. TfL said the work cannot be carried out while trains are running, so the Night Tube service is withdrawn for the evening. Passengers in Finchley who normally travel to east London will need to board a bus that follows a similar corridor, linking the affected stations with key interchange points.
Northern line Waterloo early‑morning suspension
In addition, Northern line services will not call at Waterloo station between 2.45 am and 4.15 am on Friday, according to TfL. The operator suggests exiting the Northern line at Embankment and crossing the Golden Jubilee Bridges, or alighting at Kennington and taking the night bus N155 to reach Waterloo on foot.

New stations proposed at Neasden and Harlesden as part of the scheme.
Victoria line service suspension between Victoria and Brixton
The Victoria line will be partially closed from 7.30 pm Saturday 3 October until 10 am Sunday 4 October. TfL confirmed the work involves repairing a track crossing in the Brixton area, which forces the line to stop running between Victoria and Brixton for the stated period. Passengers are warned to expect delays on the remaining sections of the line.
Other disruptions mentioned by MyLondon include the Northern line skipping Waterloo on Friday night, and the Windrush line services missing Canada Water overnight. However, the focus for Finchley residents is the Night Tube cancellation, which directly affects commuters heading east after the evening peak.
TfL recommends that travellers check the live service map on the official website or the TfL Go app before setting out. Replacement buses will be clearly marked, and staff will be on hand at major stations to provide assistance. The disruptions are expected to end once the track work is completed on Sunday.
