"The refurbishment of Baron's Court station has uncovered more problems than expected. TfL began a two-year revamp of the station earlier this year, with works including repainting the canopies and repairing damaged sections. Worn platform edges were also replaced and cast iron columns on both platforms were strengthened. Work was originally scheduled to take place at night. But now TfL has announced it will have to shut the station for almost all of 2026, after originally saying that it would remain open during the works."
"When will Baron's Court station close? The eastbound platform for services into central London will be closed from January 19 2026 until early June. Both platforms will temporarily reopen between June 6 and 21 (excluding June 13 and 14) for the Queen's Club tennis championships. The westbound platforms for services to Ealing Broadway, Richmond, Heathrow Airport, Uxbridge and Rayners Lane will close from mid-July until the end of 2026."
Baron's Court Piccadilly line station in west London has uncovered more extensive problems during a two-year refurbishment than originally expected. Initial works included repainting canopies, repairing damaged sections, replacing worn platform edges and strengthening cast iron columns, with much work planned at night. After starting, TfL determined that some repairs can only be done safely by temporarily closing each platform, prompting almost-all-of-2026 closures. The eastbound platform closes January 19 2026 until early June; both platforms reopen briefly for the Queen's Club in June; the westbound platform closes mid-July until the end of 2026. Trains will pass through without stopping; passengers should use West Kensington or Hammersmith.
