How many stairs at Green Park or Hyde Park Corner tube stops London?

I am flying in to Heathrow airport and am staying near the Green Park
tube and Hyde Park Corner tube. I'm wondering whether it is possible
to manage 2 decent-sized suitcases from the train to the street in
either of those 2 stations. How many flights of stairs would I have to
climb to do this? After all, it is tempting to step onto the Picadilly
Line Underground at Heathrow and arrive relatively promptly at my
destination without changing vehicles (and reasonably cheaply, too).

At Green Park IRC there's a short flight from the Station to a tunnel above
with a rise of about 8 feet and one small flight from the booking hall
to the street. From the concourse level to the booking hall ISTR
is via escalator.

If you are reasobaly fit and healthy then go for it, I would and
am fat and over fifty

Thanks for the description. I'd give it a try. Is the last flight of
stairs to the street also 8 feet?

Also, what about Hyde Park Corner? Anyone?

London Transport has a "Tube Guru" option on their web site that may
be helpful. Point your browser to http://tube.tfl.gov.uk/guru/ . On
the map, click the station you're interested in, then when the station
comes up, on the tabs at the right click "Station Info". When this
loads hit the "click for access" entry beside the wheelchair icon.
Here you will find e.g., for Hyde Park Station:

entrance access
14,14 stairs down, subway

booking hall to platform
Escalator (or 3,7 x 17 stairs) down

platform to train step
Piccadilly (B)


There's even a link where you can download full accessibility info for
all stations (in Microsoft Excel format, strangely). Hope this info
is of some use.

Very strange. You'd expect Access, surely :-)

LOL! I'll file this in my "Damn! I should have though of that one"
archives.
