Accessible nightmare, no real fixes

Amazing book shop, if you can get in! The wheelchair lift into the shop is too small, even for a standard wheelchair. Alternative access is available using other lifts and the staff lift (you have to ask for help). Too often one or other of these lifts is not working. Floor staff are very supportive (and embarrassed), but despite several problematic visits, nothing changes. We will keep turning up and being a problem!

Excellent disabled facilities - totally accessible

We enjoyed a lovely visit to this amazing bookshop. Right in the heart of Oxford University. The shop is huge and all floors are wheelchair accessible. There is a cafe that is accessible too. There are disabled toilets too.

A horror for wheelchair users, I will never shop there again

Getting into, and around, this shop as a wheelchair user is a nightmare - definitely somewhere to avoid. Zero stars.
