Your comments and questions

Derek Can I get onto the northern line at Monument station?

Staff Sort of... but you have to walk to Bank station first. It's not like changing platforms. You basically walk through a lot of underground tunnels from Monument to Bank - under the city streets - it's a long walk.

Rozzie When I put into Google for a wheelchair accessible route from Hammersmith to an address in Borough High Street it says to take the District Line to Monument Station. All the information here says that there are steps to exit the station, is Google wrong? Thanks

Staff Hi Rozzie. We've double-checked to be sure and the only step-free thing you can do at Monument is changing between the Circle and District line. You definitely need to use some stairs when leaving the station. You'll probably have to go to Tower Hill and catch the No 15 bus back, it's only about 5 mins. Check out this guide from TFL, which lists all the step-free stations - content.tfl.gov.uk/avoiding-stairs-tube-guide.pdf
