Default Taking a dog on the underground

One concern is the escalators. I have seen signs on some escalators
indicating that dogs need to be carried. As she is 30kg this could be
difficult on a long escalator. I can pick her up when get on and off
but it should be safe to put her down while traveling up.


There is no regulation to prevent you taking a dog on the tube through
the central area. However, if you cannot carry the dog on the escalator
then you are supposed to ask a member of staff to stop the escalator so
you can walk down/up. This will only normally be done at quiet times
outside the rush hour - since Waterloo doesn't have quiet times, you'd
probably do better to take Paul C's rather roundabout route.

Yep, your best bet is to go to the Jubilee Line area and there is a lift up
to street level.
However from street level up to the national rail station Im not sure.
There are escalators. Can't remember seeing a lift.
If there isn;t a lift then you'll have to walk along the road and up through
the main doors by Costa Coffee.

I would have thought that Waterloo has lift access somewhere from
streetlevel which doesn't involve using a car or walking for miles but then
again . . .
