Transport for London has announced that there will be no step-free access at Brixton Underground station from Tuesday 13th February until September 2018.

They say the closure is necessary while both lifts are replaced as part of their plan to modernise the Tube.

During the work, the station will have an escalator service as usual, however, if you are making a step-free journey you’re advised to use local bus services between Brixton and Vauxhall stations.

Step-free access is available at Vauxhall between the bus station, ticket hall and Victoria line.
