Interchange

To get to the Piccadilly Line platforms you need to go along the District Line ones and down some stairs and along a bit.

Kake thinks Earl's Court station is a horrific stew of crowding people, and won't go there except on weekdays outside rush hour. (My revised opinion — it's OK if you're getting the Piccadilly Line; it's the District Line platforms that get horrid.)

Earl's Court was also one of the first stations to have /escalators.

One useful tip to remember is that Earl's Court Station sits between two major roads (Warwick Road and Earl's Court Road) - and that the Earl's Court Exhibition Centre is not on Earl's Court Road - but the other exit.
