Your comments and questions
Nat Hi does this station have stair access as I have a fear of going up the really steep escalator,coming from stockwell underground to highbury & islington underground so will I have a problem or can I use stairs to get out if the station
Staff Hi Nat, you can use stairs to avoid the escalator, but there's quite a lot of them: 17 + 17 + 7 + 17 + 17 + 17 + 3 steps
Lina Is there lollipop inside the station
Staff Hil Lina. Not sure what you mean by Lollipop. If you mean the shoe shop then theres one down Islington High Street
Nonie Just checking that the stairs are still available to exit the station from the VICTORIA LINE as I cannot use the escalator. Thank you.
Staff Hi Nonie. There's nothing mentioned under TFL's planned works, so the stairs should be fine - tfl.gov.uk/status-updates/stations-lifts-and-escalators-works-and-closures#h
