Interchanges

This is only shown as an interchange between the Circle Line and the Piccadilly Line, the reason being that Earl's Court Station and South Kensington Station offer better interchanges with the District Line.

Access to the Piccadilly Line platforms is by lift only; Piccadilly Line trains do not stop here if there is no fire brigade cover.

The track system around this station was changed in 1999, as part of the overhaul of the Circle Line. As a consequence, westbound District Line and clockwise Circle Line share a platform, which is less useful than previously, where there were separate platforms. Eastbound trains come in on different platforms for the circle and district lines.

Architecture and Points of Interest
