London and parts of Essex and Hertfordshire will move into the highest level of coronavirus restrictions on Wednesday, MPs have been told.
The move will see thousands of bars, pubs, cafes and restaurants close in the capital and surrounding areas after Tuesday night, except for takeaway, delivery and click and collect services.
The Tier 3 measures, announced to local MPs by Health Secretary Matt Hancock, will come into force at 00.01am on Wednesday.

Under Tier 3 measures, people must not meet socially indoors, in private gardens, or at most outdoors public venues with anyone they do not live with or are not in a support bubble with.
The heightened restrictions also mean fans will likely once again be banned from football stadiums and other sporting venues.
And theatres are also set to have to close their doors once more.
However, the "rule of six" will allow people from different households to continue meeting in small groups outdoors in parks, public gardens, playgrounds or outdoor sports facilities.
Earlier on Monday, London's MPs were briefed on the worsening COVID-19 situation in the capital.
One London MP said there was a "lot of frustration", with no real answers to their questions.
It was the "same gloomy outlook as last week's meeting except all the data is even worse, almost back to the levels pre-lockdown", they said.
