Overview

Access through the galleries and other areas was good once you found out where the lifts and routes were located.

Transport & Parking

4

There is no parking on site but there are Blue Badge bays in some nearby streets. The Gallery web site has more information. Public transport in the immediate area is mainly buses.

Access

4

There are lots of measures in place to make the visit for disabled people enjoyable. Audio guides and braille information is available. BSL users have a programme of events they can attend.

Toilets

4

There are several accessible toilets throughout the building.

Staff

2

Unfortunately, staff were not particularly helpful at times. Whilst obviously lost, clearly mobility impaired, and trying to find the lift staff appeared more interested in continuing their conversation with each other than offering help. Only one guide voluntarily enquired, later in my tour, if I required assistance and it was much appreciated.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

A great place to visit with lots of facilities to help the disabled visitor. Unfortunately let down by some staff.
