CAMDEN Council has appealed to Sadiq Khan to make Kentish Town Underground station “step-free” so that it can be used by disabled tube passengers.

But the Mayor of London has warned that the cost could be too prohibitive without outside financial help.

He said: “TfL has carried out a high-level investigation into installing lifts at Kentish Town which indicated that this would be very complex. The scheme would involve digging new tunnels and installing a new lift shaft in a very constrained work site, adjacent to the main road and busy operational railways.”

He added: “Transport for London will continue to keep this under review, for example considering opportunities with developers in case this should bring forward substantial additional funding sources.”
