Step-Free Access for South Kensington

I am calling for step-free access at South Kensington Tube Station.

Labour Mayor Sadiq Khan has created an unacceptable linkage between inappropriate development plans for South Kensington and the right to step-free access.

Given South Kensington's host of cultural destinations, such as the Natural History Museum, V&A and Science Museum, it is unacceptable that the station continues to fail those needing step-free access.

Further, the station is a useful interchange between the District, Circle and Piccadilly Line - a convenient link cut off for those in wheelchairs, with buggies, or with other mobility limiting issues.

If you share my view that South Kensington Tube Station needs step-free access, please do get in touch: felicity.buchan.mp@parliament.uk

Accessible Transport for All

I am clear that South Kensington Tube Station must be accessible for all. Customers who use wheelchairs and other mobility aids, along with those pushing buggies are currently EXCLUDED from this vital interchange.

Supporting Our Museums

South Kensington Tube Station is an integral link for museums such as the V&A, Natural History Museum and the Science Museum.

By extending step-free access to South Kensington we will boost customer confidence, particularly amongst older and vulnerable groups.

Improving Passenger Flow

Families who bring along buggies are often forced to wait for crowds to pass, before having to carry heavy buggies up the narrow stairs. This causes delays for passengers.

Congestion, and for some confusion, caused by the lack of lift facilities is dangerous, and I worry this dissuades first-time passengers from using our station.
