Barons Court tube station will be closed to eastbound District line trains for three days this month as Transport for London continues major restoration works on the historic station.
Trains heading towards Earl’s Court will not stop at Barons Court from Friday 18 to Sunday 20 September, with passengers advised to use West Kensington, Hammersmith or Earl’s Court stations instead and complete their journeys on foot or by bus.
The temporary closure comes as part of a long-running programme to refurbish the station, which has already seen westbound trains skipping Barons Court since early July while work on the platform canopies progresses.
This latest disruption coincides with a scheduled track maintenance weekend, meaning replacement buses will already be in operation for parts of the line. TfL is urging passengers to check the Journey Planner or the TfL Go app before travelling.
The restoration project, which began in February 2025, is expected to finish next spring. Alongside canopy repairs and glazing replacement, engineers are strengthening the station’s cast-iron columns, renewing timber cladding and upgrading drainage. Once structural work is complete, the station will be repainted in green and cream to reflect its original Edwardian colour scheme.
