The work includes new lifts and walkways to be installed as well as other upgrades.
Network Rail is working with South Western Railway and London Borough of Hounslow Council to install new lifts either side of the raised platforms, making use of the existing subway.
Hounslow Council has contributed £1m to the scheme which will see the new lifts providing step free access to the central platforms, making it easier for customers to navigate their way around the station.

Network Rail's team of engineers started work with the lifts expected to be completed and open to passengers in early 2024. The improvements at Isleworth station are part of a wider scheme of upgrades to a number of stations across Network Rail’s Southern region, helping make the railway more accessible for all.
Oma Megbele, Network Rail's commercial scheme sponsor, said: "We're really pleased to see this project get underway. It’s important that our stations are accessible so that all customers can navigate their way round them travel on the railway with ease and comfort.
"We're working closely with our partners at South Western Railway, Hounslow Council and the local community to ensure we minimise disruption to customers and local residents throughout the work."
