Full step-free access to every line is essential, and the award of this contract is a major milestone towards delivering the station our residents and visitors deserve. “South Kensington is one of London’s most important gateways, serving world-leading museums, hospitals, universities and businesses.

There’s no need to report graffiti during Carnival. After the event, our crews will work through affected streets over the following month. We can remove graffiti at ground-floor level only. Graffiti above this will need to be removed by the property owner.
