London is an old city, so accessibility takes a little planning, but it has come a long way and rewards visitors who prepare. Here is how to enjoy it step-free. Part of our London for every traveller series.
Getting around step-free
Every London bus is low-floor and wheelchair accessible, which often makes them easier than the Tube, though a growing number of stations are step-free too. Licensed black cabs take wheelchairs as standard. Our guide to getting around London covers the options.
Accessible attractions
The big museums are among the most accessible places in the city, with lifts and step-free routes throughout. The Natural History Museum and the British Museum are good examples, and you can plan more from our attractions guide.
Where to stay
Many central hotels offer accessible rooms, but book directly and confirm the details. Start with our pick of the best hotels and the guide to the best areas to stay.
Plan a gentler trip
A step-free visit and a slower one often go hand in hand. For more in that spirit, see London at a gentler pace and our wider trip planning guide.
