London's Charing Cross and Waterloo East stations close July 26–Aug 16, 2026, for major track and structural upgrades.
Charing Cross and Waterloo East stations in London will close from July 26 to August 16, 2026, for 22 days as part of a £20 million Network Rail project to replace aging track and switches, improve drainage, and repair structural elements.
The closure, chosen to minimize long-term disruption, will reroute Southeastern services to London Victoria, Cannon Street, Blackfriars, and London Bridge, with tickets valid on alternative rail, Underground, and buses.
The work addresses infrastructure last upgraded in the 1990s that contributed to over 21,000 minutes of delays.
Preparatory and follow-up work will occur on nearby weekends, and public drop-in sessions will be held.
