Stairs, lifts and escalators

Hyde Park Corner 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)

Hyde Park Corner entrance – The Knightsbridge entrances and the booking hall are on the level, but you must use two flights of stairs from the Hyde Park Corner entrances (2x14 steps down), or two flights of stairs from the Grosvenor Place entrance (21 steps down +5 steps down). After that you must use an escalator down to the platforms. If you want to avoid the escalator then you can use eight flights of stairs (3 steps down +7x17 steps down)

Changing trains at Earl’s Court – You can use a lift when changing platforms

Kensington (Olympia) exit – There is level access between the platforms and the exit
