Andrew Owen Hi. Sorry I would like to know please, are there any open to the sky areas between High Street Kensington and Ealing Broadway?

Staff Hi Andrew. It looks like there are six little tunnels along the way, but 90% of the journey is above ground. Here's a map showing where the tunnels are: content.tfl.gov.uk/tube-map-with-tunnels.pdf
