General Information

Although designated as exits, these passages seem to be used by people changing platforms and using them as entrances too. Five passages meet near the foot of the escalators to the exit concourse in an area I shall call the exit intersection, see below.

The Exit Concourses

The southern end of the north and southbound island platforms contains an exit concourse containing three passages running parallel to the platforms interlinked by 2 passages which ultimately allow access between platforms. The north wall of the exit concourses are blank. The south ends of the outer passages go to the exits, whilst the middle passage goes to the Central Line. Each platform is linked to an exit concourse by four passages.
