At street level the station gives the impression of a well kept historical building. The entrance and ticket hall are step free and the area through the ticket barriers is lit from above by natural light.
That unfortunately is where the good news ends, because the rest of the station is not user friendly.
The District and Circle line platforms are only accessible via long staircases. The Piccadilly line is accessible via lifts, but from the bottom landing to the platforms is by about 20 steps down.
If your hotel is nearby, lugging suitcases around here is a pain.
Never interchange here between the Piccadilly line and the District and Circle lines except if one or other is completely suspended. There are plenty of better places to interchange.
Never come here with a wheelchair, or if you have mobility difficulties. Only bring a buggy or pram or suitcases if you are fit and healthy and enjoy the exercise.
As with nearby South Kensington, this station really needs money spent on it by Tfl, to make it a lot more accessible for everyone.
In the meantime Earl's Court station is the closest place that (although not perfect), ticks a lot more boxes, and has the same routes available.

Best underground station on the network with the greatest staff, serves the district, circle and Piccadilly lines but had stairs to all platforms so is not step free and not easy with big buggies or luggage.

We have been working close to Gloucester Road Station and it was easy to catch the district line back home

The top is normal train station, to go to underground you have to take the lift down - the signs not very clear at first to find the underground...

Very convenient to stay around this station as it would connect you to most tourist places in London with ease , loved the help I received here from the staff when the machine didn’t dispense two Oyster cards after deducting the money , supervisor Abdullah was very helpful when he assisted in issuing two new cards , thanks
