Transport for London (TfL) advised that tickets are being accepted on local bus and RdL Rail services.
The delays are the second in under a week to affect the Piccadilly Line, which was impacted by a signal failure last Thursday between Acton Town and Uxbridge.
It follows the Northern Line being part suspended during rush hour yesterday evening on the High Barnet branch after an incident at Archway.
TfL is planning work this weekend that will disrupt some lines, with both the London Overground and TfL Rail undergoing a planned closure.
