The stairs exit into passage 2 is the second passage from the north end of the platforms.
Beyond (south of) the central reservation are the entrance from the Jubilee Line, passage 5, the exit to the Jubilee Line via passage 4 and a blank passage between the platforms.
There is tactile paving along the edge of these platforms.
