Several roads in Kensington and Chelsea will close on Sunday (July 31) when the annual Prudential RideLondon runs through the area.
Significant disruption to roads and public transport is expected when around 26,000 amateur cyclists pedal their way through the borough as part of the 100-mile event.
The route will see cyclists make their through Knightsbridge, Brompton Road, Cromwell Road (A4), King’s Road, Ashburnham Road, Cremorne Road, Cheyne Walk and Chelsea Embankment in K&C.
Councillor Tim Coleridge, head of transport at the Royal borough, said: “Closing over 100 miles of roads across London and Surrey will inevitably cause major traffic disruption. I do urge residents to note the date of this event and plan ahead to minimise any inconvenience.”
