Currently there are few such opportunities. The only other central
access from the north is the Jubilee Line at Westminster and Waterloo,
and then at Stanmore, Wembley Park and Kilburn, but that presumes
you're headed for Westminster. The map marks step-free access from
the sub-surface lines at Kings Cross, which could be boarded from
Wembley Park


If you change to the Met at Finchley Road the whole of the SSR is
available from the Jubilee, including the lifts at Kings Cross, and
cross platform interchange to trains in the other direction.

so presumably a lift to the Northern Line also opens up
interchange at Kings Cross which means you could travel from Woodside
Park to Wimbledon, for example.


Cross platform at Euston onto the Victoria, cross platform at Oxford
Circus onto the Bakerloo. At Waterloo there's step free access via the
JLE travelator and lifts, then SWT to Wimbledon.

(I'll admit I used the journey planner to discover this. It's
surprisingly good at it)

U

underground.
the beeb website whittled on about this the other week but i didnt see
