Commuters are advised to avoid the stations listed below:
| Stations to avoid |

| Oxford Circus |
| Tottenham Court Road |
| Leicester Square |
| Charing Cross |
| Westminster |
| Waterloo |
| St James' Park |

Participants attending the march are set to join the throng of demonstrators from Marble Arch station, Bond Street station, Charing Cross station and Westminster station.
Outside of the Tube, diversions on the streets will change bus routes and make driving difficult to the point where TfL has advised drivers to avoid central London where possible.
The march, organised by People's Vote, will see members of the public assemble at Park Lane at 12pm and march to Parliament Square to demand a final vote on the proposed Brexit deal.
Once in Parliament Square, protesters will be addressed by speakers outside the Palace of Westminster from 2pm to 3pm.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan will also attend the march, and said in a statement: "Brexit is a complete and utter mess.
"We’re now days away from falling off a cliff edge with catastrophic consequences. Enough is enough. It’s time to take this out of the hands of politicians and put it back to the people."
"I’ll be marching on Saturday with people from every part of our country – from every walk of life – to demand that the British people get the final say," he added.
Other political figures expected to attend include a host of Labour members as well as Scotland's first minister, Nicole Sturgeon.
Khan and Sturgeon have thrown their support behind People's Vote before, supporting their previous October 21 march that drew in a reported 670,000 people.
Other possible attendees could include People's Vote founder Anna Soubry, a former Tory minister who left to join the Independent Group, and Green Party leader Caroline Lucas.
