Holland Park Station reopened to customers after eight months of refurbishment on Monday (August 1).

It closed in January to allow for the replacement for two lifts , which were installed nearly 30 years earlier and falling into disrepair.

While the station was closed, Transport for London (TfL) also carried out a string of other modernisation work within the station, on Holland Park Avenue.

It included:

  • Improving the ticket hall by making better use of existing space, giving a brighter, more spacious feel
  • Increasing security by providing Passenger Help Points on both platforms and increasing CCTV coverage in key areas of the station
  • Upgrading the finishes on the platforms and passageways

TfL had aimed for the Central line station to reopen in August and before the Notting Hill Carnival , which takes place later this month.
