London mayor Sadiq Khan has announced the next 13 Tube stations to go step-free and said they will be completed by spring 2022.

Combined, the stations record more than 33m passenger journeys each year. The stations to benefit are:

  • North Ealing

  • Rickmansworth

  • Wimbledon Park

  • Boston Manor

  • Burnt Oak

  • Debden

  • Hanger Lane

  • Ickenham

  • Northolt

  • Park Royal

  • Ruislip

  • Snaresbrook

  • Sudbury Hill

The news marks the next tranche of £200m the mayor is investing as part of a drive to improve step-free access across the London Underground network.

Khan wants to reach a target of 40 per cent of Tube stations being step-free by 2022, compared to the current level of 27 per cent.

Newbury Park, Bromley-by-Bow and Buckhurst Hill are set to be step-free this year, with work wrapping up at Harrow-on-the-Hill next year. Then Amersham, Cockfosters, Mill Hill East, Osterley and South Woodford will have work getting underway.
