Streets across East London will be closed over the June Bank Holiday as locals celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Many residents in Newham will hold street parties and other events across the borough to mark the Queen’s 70th year on the throne. People across the UK will get a four-day bank holiday to mark the Jubilee from Thursday June 2 to Sunday June 5.
As part of the festivities, Londoners will hold celebrations across the capital during the double bank-holiday weekend. However, the huge number of street parties planned is expected to cause disruption, with Transport for London (TfL) already warning people not to drive through Central London during that weekend.
In Newham, 27 events throughout the borough have been given the green light to go ahead by the local council. The council said roads would only close for street parties on Sunday June 5, though the parties are being held across the holiday.

Newham Council said on its website: “This will be an historic moment and we know people will want to come together to mark it in style. Newham Council wants to help local people do just that so we have set up The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Community Fund to help support community celebrations. It will be a wonderful opportunity for communities to come together to celebrate Her Majesty’s achievements and service, as well as enjoy each other’s company.”
