The so-called torsional oscillation, which manifests itself as bands of faster and slower rotation on top of the large-scale differential rotation, is well known. Initially it was discovered in surface Doppler shift observations, but it has since been seen using a variety of helioseismic techniques and in the rotation rate of the supergranulation. In this talk I will start by describing some of these measurements and show how it has been possible to detect the torsional oscillations to a significant depth. I will also discuss some of the other variations which have been detected in the solar rotation, in particular the 1.3 year oscillation near the solar tachocline. Finally I will discuss recent measurements of the meridional flow and its variations and what we may be able to learn in the near future.
