Spectators planning on lining the streets of London for the royal wedding are being urged to plan their journey well in advance of the big day.

Transport for London (TfL) has issued travel advice for people intending to visit central London on April 29 to take part in celebrations surrounding the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton.

TfL is working with the Government, the Metropolitan Police, Westminster Council and other agencies to ensure that people travelling to and from the area can do so quickly and safely, and to minimise disruption caused by road diversions and closures.

And people are bring advised to check the TfL website to plan their route and for updates on service changes that may affect journeys.

Peter Hendy, London's transport commissioner, said: "There is a real sense of excitement surrounding the royal wedding, and a great many people will be coming to central London to be a part of the various celebrations taking place.

"We are working with our partners to ensure that everyone can get around safely and easily, and that people not involved with the celebrations can continue to move around the city with the minimum of disruption. "All Tube lines will be running and our bus and streets teams will be working flat out to make sure that the closures and diversions needed are managed smoothly.

"The whole of TfL is focussed on helping to ensure a great day is had by all."

The route of the wedding procession between Buckingham Palace and Westminster includes the Mall, Horse Guard's Road, Horse Guard's Arch, Whitehall and Parliament Square.

These roads and surrounding areas will be subject to road closures and parking restrictions.
