I am taking my wife for our 25th Wedding Anniversary to London in August to see some sights. We are staying in Kingston on Thames and will get into Waterloo by train. I am planning several trips around London involving several Underground Stations including Kings Cross, Waterloo, Baker Street, Tower Hill, Oxford Circus, Marble Arch, Leicester Square and Embankment.
I love travelling around London but my wife has an aversion to moving escalators. I have tried filtering on the TFL website "using stairs not escalators" but it appears a lot of stations don't offer this.
From memory there are a lot of non-moving escalators at large stations and she is fine with these (as long as they are not moving !!!!!) and staircases.
Can anybody with more local knowledge advise me if it possible to get to the above Stations platforms on "fixed" staircases rather than moving ones.
I know this is an odd request but I would be very grateful for your help as otherwise getting around London would involve a lot of walking/buses which I would prefer to avoid .
Many thanks !
