Some of the greatest names in cycling will be navigating the streets on London when Stage 3 of the Tour de France comes to the capital on Monday, July 7.
The cyclists will cross Westminster before finishing on The Mall - meaning a number of road closures will be in place both on the day and before.
Transport for London expects all roads to re-open from 6pm onwards on the day, but all roads between Whitehall and the Thames, and The Strand (West of Aldwych) and the Thames will be closed to traffic from 10am.
The first set of road closures come into place the previous day, however, and from 4pm on Sunday, July 6, there is no vehicle access to the following roads:
Constitution Hill

The Mall - between Queens Gardens and Horse Guards Road
Tothill Street – between Broadway and Storey’s Gate
From 8pm, there is no vehicle access to the following roads:

Parking restrictions will also be in place and, while the roads are closed, it will not be possible for vehicles to cross the route.
To avoid delays on the Monday, all drivers are advised to, wherever possible, avoid areas near the event routes in the affected parts of London.
Tube and rail will be the best way to get around the affected areas, although stations nearest the finish at the Mall will be extremely busy.
Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times, and pedestrian access to properties will not be affected, with marshals ensuring you can cross the road safely.
