The Elephant&Castle southern roundabout will be closed this Friday 8pm 8 October until 5am monday 11 October.

Expect chaos.

Buses will be diverted: Route 12 will be diverted by Kennington Park Road, Brixton Road and Camberwell New Road. Routes 35, 40, 45, 68, 148, 171, 176, 468, P5, N35, N68, N89, N171, 343 and N343 will be diverted by New Kent Road, Rodney Place and Heygate Street.

I do think it very strange the removal of the roundabout can’t be achieved without its total closure for a weekend.

Eitherway, I’ll be avoiding the area this weekend.
