The cancellations will take place between Tuesday to Friday (May 12 to May 15).

We have broken down the details for you to plan ahead.

Tuesday to Friday (May 12 to May 15):

Engineering work is taking place overnight between London Bridge and Norwood Junction ending Friday morning, closing some lines.

From approximately 11.30pm until the end of service on Tuesday to Thursday evenings, trains to and from London Bridge will be altered.

The 11.20pm train from London Victoria to London Bridge will run non-stop from Streatham Hill to London Bridge.

The incident, which occurred early today (May 12), has affected customers across SE19 (Crystal Palace / Upper Norwood), SE27 (West Norwood / Tulse Hill), and SW16 (Streatham / Norbury), causing no water or low pressure.

Thames Water confirmed the issue stemmed from burst water pipes on Knights Hill in the SE27 area, which led to disruption in nearby postcodes and left taps running dry.

A spokesman for Thames Water said: "We know how disruptive it is if you lose your water supply, so we’ll work hard to get things back to normal as soon as we can.

On the 10th of May 2026, voluntary organisation ‘Friends of Streatham Common’ will be hosting the yearly ‘Kite Day’ on Streatham Common, from 11am to 5pm. Friends and family gather on the green to admire the splashes of colour that paint the sunny spring sky.

As the wind picks up, the sky is filled with an extraordinary variety of kites of all shapes and sizes, some homemade, lifting in short bursts before crashing to the ground, others expertly made, soaring in the wind.

This is due to engineering work and will affect trains from Monday to Friday (April 27 to May 1).

Career scammers Mark Leacock and Justin Reis were part of an organised phone scam that systematically targeted elderly and vulnerable people in Surrey between October 2024 and February 2025.

Their six victims were aged between 75 and 92, with losses totalling £7,525.29 and a further attempted fraud halted only when one victim’s daughter intervened.

Victim statements described lasting anxiety, heightened suspicion about callers and visitors, changes to daily routines and, in some cases, embarrassment and fear within their families.

Police were called to the crash on Leigham Court Road near Etherstone Road in Streatham at around 4.15pm on April 20.

Paramedics treated an 11-year-old boy and took him to hospital where his injuries are not life-threatening or changing.
