Charing Cross and Waterloo East closed 26 July - 16 August

How this will affect services:

London Charing Cross and Waterloo East will close from Sunday 26 July to Sunday 16 August 2026, with supporting weekend closures for preparation and follow-up work.
Southeastern services that normally run into Charing Cross will be diverted to:
• London Victoria
• London Cannon Street
• London Blackfriars
• Some services will terminate at London Bridge
You can use your ticket on London Underground and London Buses at no extra cost.
Those who are able are encouraged to cycle or walk to complete shorter journeys

The country end of the platforms at Charing Cross station will be rebuilt with new foundations and surfaces to keep them safe and open for passengers to use.
Track drainage will be upgraded at Waterloo East station, helping to maintain track quality and a smooth ride at full line speed for passengers.

Structural repairs will be carried out on the Hungerford Bridge, which takes the railway over the Thames, and the pedestrian link bridge between Waterloo East and London Waterloo. The work will keep the structures safe and open for decades ahead.
Recent faults have caused over 350 hours of delays to customers.

A 22-day closure, plus some preparation and follow-up weekends either side, is the most efficient and least disruptive way to complete the work.

More information about this programme of work can be found on the South Eastern website.
