Traffic, as expected is slow, particularly on the eastbound lane of Fulham Road,

TfL says many buses are on diversion or stopping short of their destinations and some may be affected by traffic displaced by road closures.

There are extensive road closures on and around the routes, but pedestrian access to properties is not affected.

A number of bridges across the Thames are closed, as shown below.
