Overview

First visit to recently upgraded David Livingstone Centre. Amazed at the improvement on the old centre and the layout of the various exhibits. A good modern museum.

Transport & Parking

Easy access and good disabled parking. No issues when driving. Nearest station is Blantyre and straightforward route to centre. A bit of a walk but on quiet residential street.

Access

All paths are well surfaced and good for wheelchair users and anyone with mobility issues. Main entrance is on level. Centre is on three levels with lift and staff to assist if needed. Displays are well set out and easy to read. There are seats around centre if you need a rest. Cafe and shop are in a separate building which is equally accessible and well laid out.

Toilets

Easy to find both in museum and separate cafe. Didn't use, but other toilets are clean and modern so expect disabled ones to be of same standard

Staff

Warmly welcomed by all staff and given assistance when required. It is necessary to go outside the centre to visit the AV presentation and a member of staff accompanied us.
