She said: ‘I was a little bit stressed about it, but it has been completely fine, absolutely no disruption.
‘I took the Tube from King’s Cross to Moorgate and walked from there in the rain. We are staying in Hackney but haven’t planned yet how we will travel there.
‘I’m travelling again on Thursday so will see how it is.’
