Museum of London Docklands

Date of visit: May 2016

I have experience of challenges around: moving around

Overall Rating

Wide areas to navigate over three main floors, natural uneven wood floors and low lighting in many areas. Good views of exhibits from seated. Basic snacks and basic toilets on all floors. Very interesting -worth a full day to take a good look.

Disabled Access In and Around

Lifts to all floors in a few locations. 3 main floors if variable surfaces but mostly wooden floor boards (slightly uneven). Low light to very low light in many areas. Information boards well illuminated and easily readable from low height. Some touch/feel object sessions during the afternoon. Small snack cafe on the ground floor with plenty of space but nothing special for dietary differences (microwave to warm food available).

Parking & Transport

Used public transport Docklands Light Railway. The lift takes you to the pavement level and you walk past about 4 dock buildings on smooth surface to the museum. The front of the museum is cobble stones. All level access.

Accessible Toilets

Toilets on all floors (so when everyone is using the ones by the cafe, use the lift and the toilets are opposite them on floor 3) . Entrance (ground floor) toilets have baby changing both in and outside the accessible toilet). These toilets have an inner room area that leads to the accessible toilet (some with and some without a door between them). The toilets wouldn't meet all recent criteria but had a cistern shelf, emergency cord and full compliment of support rails. Photo of the third floor toilets. Clean and reasonable floor grip.
