TRAVEL ADVICE - Propolis Leaders Forum
A strike affecting the London Underground has been announced for Tuesday 9 September by the RMT & ASLEF unions.
The Propolis Leaders Forum venue is very well served by National Rail stations, and many bus services, which are all unaffected by the strike. They may, however, be busier than usual on this date.
We anticipate that the tube network will run a heavily reduced or no service, but it is not yet confirmed which tube lines and services will be affected.
We encourage you to plan your journey in advance and include plenty of extra time to travel to the venue.
We will keep delegates updated with further details as they are announced.
