Stairs, lifts and escalators
Borough is not wheelchair accessible. Kensington (Olympia) has step-free access from the street to the platform (but there may be a step up or gap to the train)
Borough entrance – There’s a lift between the entrance and the northbound platform, but you must use a lift and two flights of stairs to the southbound platform (10 steps down +8 steps down). If you want to avoid the lift then you can use another six flights of stairs (21 steps down +6 steps down +3x25 steps down)
Changing trains at London Bridge – You must use a lift plus escalator when changing between the Jubilee/Northern line platforms via the Northern line ticket hall. You can avoid the escalator by using a lift and walking 410 metres outside in the street
Changing trains at Green Park – There are two lifts and a long walk when changing platforms. If you want a shorter walk then you can use two escalators instead of the lifts
Kensington (Olympia) exit – There is level access between the platforms and the exit
Sorry, but the route information is unavailable
