Finsbury Park is an intermodal interchange station in north London. It serves a number of National Rail, London Underground and bus services. The station is the third busiest Underground station outside Zone 1, with over 33 million passengers using the station in 2019.
The station is served by the Piccadilly and Victoria lines. Although thought of as a 'deep-level' tube station, Finsbury Park has no escalators as its lines are less than 8 m below street level. Both lines are at the same level, so you can actually transfer from one line to the other, going in the same direction without having to use any stairs.
Access to the Piccadilly and Victoria line platforms was previously by staircase only, reached via two narrow passages that prevented the installation of ticket barriers. As part of the upgrade of the station in the 2010s, ticket barriers were installed at both the eastern and western entrances to the station, as well as the provision of step free access throughout the station.
The Northern City Line also uses this station, which used to be part of the Underground, see here for more details. The platforms are about 7.3 metres underground. There is a crossover still in place here where it could be possible to transfer from the Piccadilly line to the Victoria line, subject to the correct signalling equipment.
