New Accessible Toilet Opens at Morden Underground Station

Transport for London (TfL) has opened a new publicly accessible toilet at Morden Underground station, the first installation under a £15 million programme to improve customer facilities across the network.

The scheme is part of the Mayor of London’s wider commitment to enhance accessibility and inclusivity on the capital’s transport system. Located in the former ticket office, the new facilities include an accessible toilet and a gender-neutral option, both fitted with baby-changing units.

Emma Strain,

TfL’s customer director, said: “Not having access to a toilet can prevent people from travelling at all. The opening of these facilities at Morden is a significant step in improving provision across our network and supporting a fairer, more accessible transport system.”

Morden is the first station to benefit from a five-year plan that will invest £3 million annually to expand and upgrade toilet access. Similar improvements have already been made at London Overground stations including Clapton, Seven Sisters, and White Hart Lane, with refurbished toilets also delivered at High Barnet and Willesden Junction.

Councillor Eleanor Stringer, deputy leader of Merton Council, welcomed the development, highlighting the benefits for older passengers, people with disabilities, women, and children. TfL has also published a Toilet Tube Map to help passengers locate facilities across the network, supporting its broader inclusion strategy of more than 80 initiatives to make the transport system accessible to all.
