THE LOW LEVEL CONCOURSE

DESCRIBE ONLINE

To Reach the Low Level Concourse

Follow the right-hand side of the concourse beyond the shops. There's a gap in the buildings, where the road passes. Cross this gap (south) to the building in front of you. As you face the building, the steps are to the right and the two escalators to your left. The escalators were undergoing maintenance at the time of our survey, though we understand the left-hand escalator would normally be going down.

Taking the steps, go down 14, 14 then 15 steps, going south, into the low level concourse.

This is a passage running east/west. At the west end is the low level entrance from Hope Street.
