"The Grade II-listed station is the tube network's busiest station that doesn't have step-free access - a nightmare for wheelchair users, people with buggies and those with mobility needs."
"The project is a joint venture between property developer Native Land and TfL's property company Places for London. It'll involve a new, much-needed step-free station entrance on Thurloe Street."
"Scott Anderson, head of property development at TfL's Places for London, said the planned upgrades will make the station 'a jewel of the tube network'."
The South Kensington tube station, a key access point to major cultural institutions, will begin a significant renovation to enhance accessibility. Currently, it lacks step-free access, affecting over 500,000 journeys annually. The project, approved in late 2023, includes a new entrance, dedicated platforms, and improved retail spaces. The upgrades aim to create a more user-friendly environment and provide affordable housing. The development is a collaboration between Native Land and TfL's property company, with the goal of transforming the station into a prominent feature of the tube network.
