- Demonstrations and protests — Westminster regularly hosts large-scale demonstrations that can close Victoria Street, Parliament Square, and surrounding streets with little advance notice.
- VIP security movements — Motorcades and security operations in and around Downing Street, Buckingham Palace, and the Houses of Parliament can cause temporary road closures.

Total journey time approximately 60–75 minutes, excluding walking time and the initial journey from your Westminster address to the station.
