What we are doing
From 17 April to 12 August 2026 we will be working on Finchley Road and Hilgrove Road. This is the second phase of our works in South Hampstead to divert the gas main in advance of tunnelling in the area. There will be lane closures on Hilgrove Road and Finchley Road, with temporary traffic lights in place.
There will also be bus stop and parking bay suspensions, and short pedestrian diversions in place. A vehicle diversion will be in place via Fairfax Road. Hilgrove Road will have westbound lane vehicle access only. Bus stop K on Finchley Road, and bus stops M and N at Swiss Cottage Station will be suspended.
We are sorry for the disruption caused by the delay to these works.

HS2 is undergoing a comprehensive reset to ensure it can be built efficiently and for the lowest reasonable cost. This work is being carried out in stages and will be completed in 2026. We will provide you with updates on the reset and what this means for our plans to build the railway in your area.
