Part of a grade-II listed London Underground station will close this year due to “extensive repairs” to its roof, Transport for London (TfL) has said.
Barons Court, which serves the District and Piccadilly lines, will close one platform at a time: eastbound between 19 January and early June and westbound from mid-July until the end of the year.
Built in 1904, several key structures at the west London station are thought to be near the end of their lifespan. TfL has apologised for any disruption.
Director of asset performance delivery, Richard Jones, said: “This is the safest and quickest way to remove and replace the platform roof, which includes around 800 panes of glass.”
