Latest dates i heard were june 4 and/or 6. Check london-traansport.com for updates

June 4th and 6th it is. Check out www.thetube.com or www.transportforlondon.gov.uk for the latest updates. If they run as the last one did, they will actually start at 8pm the day before. This means that there are actually problems for more than 24 hours as although the strike in theory stops at 8pm, there will be severe disruption until the end of the day. So, in summary, unless the strikes are called off, there will be problems from 8pm on June 3rd, all day June 4th, from 8pm on June 5th and all day June 6th.

Well Kimberly, I don't know if you have my luck but there was a tube strike planned for the day I was arriving in London earlier this month and at the last moment it was called off, so I just hope the same thing happens for you. I was prepared to take the Heathrow Express which we did anyway to Paddington and then store our luggage until after rush hour to take a taxi to get to our hotel. Be sure and know how to get to your hotel by bus. Good Luck!
