Tube map shows step-free symbols but half are complete lies. 'Step-free access' often means reaching platform level, not between platform connections. Bank station has lifts but requires 400-meter underground walks between different lines.

Actually reliable step-free stations: Westminster, London Bridge, Stratford, Canary Wharf, King's Cross St Pancras. Elizabeth Line offers good accessibility at core stations with some limitations at outer stations.

Bus ramps function but drivers often can't be bothered operating them. Routes 15 and 11 most reliable in my experience. Always check Citymapper app - shows step-free routing and real-time lift status updates.
