Knightsbridge Tube station welcomes new step-free entrance and lifts

Knightsbridge Tube station has officially become the 93rd step-free station on the London Underground, thanks to a brand-new entrance on Hooper's Court. This major upgrade, delivered in partnership with the Knightsbridge Estate and developer Chelsfield, includes three spacious lifts offering street-to-platform access to the Piccadilly line for the first time.

The project has not only improved accessibility but also revived parts of the station that had been closed for nearly a century. Serving over 13 million journeys annually to iconic destinations like Harrods, Harvey Nichols, and Hyde Park, the station's enhanced capacity and accessibility mark a significant milestone in the Mayor's mission to make 50 per cent of Tube stations step-free.

The LIP is produced by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and agreed with us. It sets out the details on transport infrastructure changes in a three-year period to support the Mayor's Transport Strategy.
