London

Special Needs-

Madame Tussauds has lots of appeal to special needs people, upon entering the Museum a ramp is provided to allow wheelchair user’s access to the Museum. A special lift is provided within the building to transport the wheelchair user from floor to floor, and our very friendly staff will only be happy to help. If you are visually impaired all the signs and any text will be translated into Braille for you, so you don’t miss out. If you are short of hearing, there will be a WI-FI point that you hearing aid can pick up any sound, if it has the technology and you will be able to hear exactly what is being said crystal clear.

There is ample accommodation in London that would be suitable for people with special needs an example would be; Wyndham Grand in Chelsea.  It has made necessary adjustments to accommodate special needs people. All special need customers are very conveniently accommodated rooms on the first floor to prevent any hassle. All rooms have rails, and important signs and writing are available in Braille.

There are many shopping centres in London that are available to people with special need such as Westfield Shopping Centre, which has a specially adapted toilet. However places like Oxford Street are not so ideal because they are very busy at times and this can leave very little space for wheelchair access.

For sightseeing, a boat trip on the River Thames would be ideal, as they would involve the person to remain seated. The boat would be fully equipped with staff who would be only happy to help if it was required.

The best mode of transport getting to London would be the tube. It has ramps on it and especially reserved seats for special needs people. This would make your journey, quick, easy safe and reliable. However the London tube is very congested and overcrowded and it is not advisable for special needs people.
