The latest tier restrictions have been announced and London has been moved into Tier 3 after weeks of rumours and a spike in cases.
For a long time Londoners must have felt like they were going to stay in Tier 2 for Christmas but the government announced it would be heading into Tier 3 on Wednesday, December 16.
The new rules come into force at 0.01am.
From then Londoners will only be able to meet up in groups of six in public spaces and from only two households.
