Bridge day check
Falls on a Monday, so it makes a three-day weekend with no leave needed.
What the day is for
The most complete shutdown in the British calendar — a family day, with the King's message at 3pm.
Do shops and banks close?
Effectively everything closes, including supermarkets and almost all restaurants.
Getting around
No National Rail services anywhere in Great Britain, no Tube, and almost no buses.
