Journey planner tells me that:
“MONUMENT AND BANK STATIONS: Please avoid using Monument Station to interchange with services from Bank. Until spring 2009 interchange between District and Circle line services at Monument and all services from Bank station is only available at street level due to escalator refurbishment works. As an alternative use nearby Mansion House or Cannon Street stations which are a short walk from Bank. Maps of the area are available at both stations. Local bus services 21 43 133 and 141 also operate between London Bridge and Moorgate stations calling at Bank and Monument.”
So would it be possible for me to get to Bank station without any trouble?

London Bridge to Bank is a direct link on the Northern line, if you want to get off at Bank the message does not apply to you.
This message is only relevant to those people wanting to change from the Northern or Central lines to the District Line, this is a foot tunnel that has and continues to be closed for some time.

It should be ok – it’s actually just telling you that you can’t get from one line to another (but you won’t be using these lines, so that’s ok) and that some of the entrances can’t be used. I think you’ll have to use the stairs though. But other than that, it should be fine.

Monument and Bank are two separate next-door stations which are connected via a series of tunnels, stair-cases, escalators etc, through which you can access the other station without having to zap in and out with your ticket / Oyster. At the moment, these escalators etc are being fixed, so the ability to access one station from the other is the only thing which has been affected. Both stations are still active.
If you have to walk from one to the other over ground, it’s actually easier and shorter to walk to a different neighbouring station – just because there is such a proliferation of tube stations around there – that’s all it’s saying. So although you could normally walk underground from Bank to Monument, if you leave the station there are closer alternatives.
Essentially, if all you just want to go from Bank to London Bridge, the short answer is . . . you’ll be fine!
