Overview

This is the eastbound platform for the Circle and Hammersmith & City lines. The entrance/exit is at the front of the train from where steps lead up to the Metropolitan Line concourse, or you can walk through onto platforms 1 and 2. The west bridge at the rear of the train may offer an easier way to cross to platform 6.

There's tactile paving along the edge of the platform.

To Reach
