My bus goes through the City: will it still be running on Saturday?
Yes, but it might be a bit muddled. Buses can't travel through the area affected by the Show, and TfL says services will be 'subject to curtailment, diversions and delays' for most of the day, but they will still run. We would expect there to be continuing disruption and knock-on effects in the evening, too. These are the services affected last year:
1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 21, 23, 25, 26, 43, 45, 46, 56, 59, 63, 68, 76, 77A, 91, 100, 133, 141, 153, 168, 171, 172, 176, 188, 205, 214, 242, 271, 341, 344, 388, 705, RV1
...and the latest details can always be found on their real time service disruption pages.
Can I get to work on foot?
Yes, but don't leave it too late. The main difficulty will be getting across the processional route, especially as the start of the Show approaches: it is lined with crowd barriers and vigilant constables, not to mention the large crowds that will start to fill the pavements. Some areas will also be cordoned off to serve as assembly points for the procession: London Wall and the Museum of London roundabout are generally closed to pedestrians as well as other traffic, and the area around Temple Bar is closed at lunchtime as the procession stacks up for the return leg.
If you're trying to walk to or from somewhere between Cheapside and Victoria Street - the outward and return routes of the procession - we would suggest that you use the underpass at Bank station, or travel to City Thameslink and use the Ludgate Hill exit.
Can I drive out of the secure area?
Probably not. If you live right on the edge of the closed area - Beech Street, say - then you'll be ok provided you avoid the times when floats are being marshalled into the procession: the police are very strict about security but they do also try to keep the disruption of local life to a minimum.
If you live further inside the secure area then I'm afraid the answer is a definite no: all the roads are closed, they're mostly full of brass bands and giant fish limbering up and there really is no way to get through even if you were allowed to. Which you're not. If you must travel on Saturday, please park your car outside the secure area and walk out to it. We're very sorry about the inconvenience.
Please also note that nobody, however nearby their destination, will be allowed to drive into the secure area. That includes anyone who lives on the edge of it and has managed to drive out. The security and safety of the Show are taken very seriously indeed and you will not be able to charm your way past the police cordon.
Will my visitor be able to drive into the 'traffic restricted' area?
Yes, provided they don't need to go through the closed area at any point. Turning down Golden Lane from Old Street should be fine, for example, but it can't be reached from Beech St, which is closed. They may also find that parking space is even more limited than usual, and will probably have to wait for the occasional brass band to bicycle past.
