Thousands are flocking to London, the bunting is starting to appear in every corner of the country and the aroma of Coronation Quiche is in the air. But if you want to avoid all the pomp and ceremony, here are five tips for an alternative Coronation weekend.Westminster will be packed with royal watchers wearing their best union-jack outfits. If you want to avoid the flag-waving crowds, stay away from the area around Hyde Park, Green Park and St. James's Park. If you're driving, roads will be closed around Knightsbridge, Waterloo, Leicester Square and Vauxhall Bridge.
Public transport will be jam-packed, so steer clear of the tube if you don't want to bump into revellers laden with posters and paper crowns. Bus services will also be affected by road closures. If you must travel, plan your journey in advance and check travel updates before leaving.
