The underground lines, i.e. the Northern and Bakerloo lines are a separate station and TFL does not deem these to be accessible to wheelchair users. See pictures and further accessible transport in London detail from links below.
Underground lines : Northern, National Rail South Eastern, Bakerloo.
Accessibility friendly : National Rail Station is suitable for disabled passengers as there is a level access to all platforms. You can also access the bridge across the River Thames from here, at the left side of the station. The other end of the bridge has an elevator, near to South Bank.
Accessible route towards South Bank & Waterloo - in March 2020
The Undergound lines are NOT accessible to wheelchair users
due to there being stairs and escalators between the street and the platforms.

station and is step-free between the street and the platforms. Staff are
available to assist passengers onto the trains using a manual boarding ramp.
