Victoria Underground station and the whole surrounding area has been undergoing knocking down, building up and smartening up for almost 10 years now.
The good news is that the work is almost complete and that access for all is much improved. The ticket hall area at the main Victoria Station end is due to complete its revitalisation this summer, at which point the station will boast eight new lifts, nine new escalators, twenty new ticket gates, a doubling in size since 2009 and, most importantly, step free access.

Great take on the theme! And great news, as I’ll be in London in August and will be certainly be going through Victoria. 🙂

It certainly needed it! The trek from Underground to mainline with luggage was a real pain.

I hardly ever use Victoria its usually Liverpool Street but I am glad they improved it for disabled people who use it.

I thought of you! Victoria was a challenge for anyone at rush hour, but now there is more space and it is so much easier. I hadn’t been there for a while and was very pleasantly surprised

Very clever. I love it. Is that you on the stairs or have you somehow managed to take this without your reflection, if so how?!!!
