Avoiding escalators on the London Underground

Some of my friends are guide dog users and prefer to avoid taking their guide dogs on escalators where possible. For each station, I have tried to indicate whether there are routes without escalators or whether escalators are unavoidable. I have listed the stations alphabetically. If you have suggestions for improvements or you find mistakes, please contact me. I am grateful to the help that I have had from Amy Eycott and Robert Johnson.
