Bank Information
BANK AND MONUMENT STATIONS: From Monday 20 October 2025 until November 2026. Replacement of escalators 4 and 5. These connect the Northern line platforms with the District and Circle line platforms. While this work takes place, the walking route between these platforms will be closed.

To pay the correct fare, just touch out as you exit and touch back in again, as you re-enter.
