"The ticket hall will be revamped to create more space, roughly doubling the number of ticket barriers, while the disused surface platform will be brought back into use to double the staircase capacity from the District/Circle line platforms."
"Funding this will be a redevelopment around the station, which will see the shops and flats on the north side refurbished, and the open south side developed with new housing."
"It's great that our plans to radically improve South Kensington Tube station have now reached the point where we have the necessary investment outlined to allow this scheme to now progress."
Upgrade works at South Kensington tube station will commence later this year to enhance capacity. The ticket hall will be revamped, doubling ticket barriers, and a disused platform will be restored to increase staircase capacity. The existing platform will serve westbound trains, while the restored platform will serve eastbound trains. Three new lifts will improve access. Funding comes from a redevelopment around the station, which includes refurbishing shops and flats. Despite local opposition, planning approval was granted in 2023, allowing the project to proceed.
