Elevator UptimeElevator outages in London
London's lifts keep flats, offices, and Tube stations moving across a city where roughly a third of Underground stations offer step-free access. Elevator Uptime tracks every indexed residential, commercial, and transit lift in a public record. Report a broken lift in 15 seconds. No account, no email.
Outage history — last 12 months

Lift outages in London
Under the Equality Act 2010, landlords, housing associations, and public service providers must make reasonable adjustments for disabled residents and visitors when a lift is out of service. Social landlords are subject to Housing Ombudsman jurisdiction; private landlords answer to the local authority's environmental health team. Lift safety itself is governed by the Lifts Regulations 2016, with continuing maintenance requirements under LOLER 2016.
Transit coverage is anchored by Transport for London (TfL). TfL publishes step-free access status in real time, including every Tube, Elizabeth line, and Overground station with accessible routes. As of late 2025, 94 of the Underground's 272 stations (roughly a third) have step-free access, per TfL's step-free access project page. The London Underground, which opened in January 1863, is the oldest underground rapid-transit system in the world. Lift outages at TfL stations are added to the public record here the moment they appear on the agency feed.
How to report a broken lift in London
- Council housing tenants: contact your local housing officer
- Housing association tenants: local officer first, then the Housing Ombudsman
- Private tenants: local authority environmental health team
- TfL stations: report through TfL Customer Services or the Access & Equality team
- Any building, public record: file an outage on Elevator Uptime in 15 seconds
