Default Help- access to Jubilee line at Baker St

Can someone help?

How easy is access to/from the Jubilee line at Baker St or St John's Wood?

I'm on crutches after breaking my hip, so can't manage a flight of stairs,
but can probably cope with the escalator if it isn't busy. [Travelling about
3pm]

I'm OK at the start of journey, Stratford, since that's a pair of lifts.


If you use the TFL Journey Planner, the details of the routes it
returns include information about stairs up and down. You can also tell
it that you can't do stairs at all, and it will come up with some
perhaps circuitous route to get you where you want to go.

eg by asking it to go from Stratford station to Lords, without stairs ,
I learn that St John's Wood has an escalator but no stairs. If I tell
it I can't use escalators OR stairs, it has to look quite hard to find
places to get me off the Underground system - the least silly route
seems to be going all the way out to Kilburn, then getting a bus back.
