This is a through station on the London Underground (Piccadilly and Victoria Lines)
and the Kings Cross mainline. The service from Moorgate also serves this station.
The London Underground station has two island platforms (1 - 2 and 3 - 4),
running approximately north/south. These are, from west to east:
The mainline station has three island platforms (1 - 2, 3 -4 and 5 - 6)
which lie above those of the London Underground. These are numbered 1 - 6
from east to west (opposite to those of the London Underground).
As we have no authority, at this time, to survey mainline stations, the details
of these platforms lie beyond the scope of this guide.
There are ticket sales areas in the North (Wells Terrace) and east (Station Place) concourses. The east concourse also serves the mainline station.
Note, There is no concourse at the Seven Sisters Road entrance.
The London Underground station is accessed via a T-shaped passage.
The top of the T runs approximately north/south between the Wells Terrace and the Seven sisters Road entrance;
whilst the upright of the T, from which you access the platforms, runs from the east concourse.
There are two ways from this passage onto each island platform.
As it was not clear from the existing signage, which was the entrance and,
since we observed people using each in both directions, we shall call them the "south" and "north" ways.
Note that the south ways emerge near the end of the platform and, therefore are probably easier to locate as you leave a train.
The passage to the mainline station leaves from the northwest corner of the east concourse.
As you face the ticket sales window, turn right, go to the wall at the end of the concourse
and turn left. Follow this wall to locate the stairs on your right and turn left at the top.
There is a set of stairs on the left side of this passage leading up to each of the three island platforms
for the mainline, bringing you near the south end of the platforms.
There is a set of spiral stairs on the right leading down to each of the two
island platforms for the London Underground station; bringing you to about the middle of the platform.
There is stairs-only and no step-free access throughout this station
