Is reactivation for revenue service an option?

No chance -- it's much too close to Green Park and Hyde Park Corner.

Got it. Which of the shuttered stations is the most likely candidate for
reactivation, York Road?

With the Granary Square developments, that would be a more useful one
to reopen, but it would have to be refurbished to current standards,
not reopened as it was when it closed in 1932 (which was in original
1906 style).

There have been campaigns to reopen it, but the cost would be in the
tens of millions (probably well over £25m), so I don't see much chance
of it any time soon. Adding an extra stop would also add unwelcome
delays to Piccadilly line trains.
