Scope

Attended a seminar at SCOPE’s HQ office in Stratford, London. As a wheelchair user access was very good - the office space has been designed around meeting the needs of those with disabilities. There is a direct bus service which is wheelchair accessible from Westfield Stratford City (next to the tube station) to the Here East campus where the office is located.

Scope's London office is within a modern building complex called Here East. There are lots of cafes, bars and areas to sit by the canal side. It is step-free to get into the Scope Office on the second floor of the Press Office building. The security barriers have a wide gate for wheelchair users. They have an accessible emergency lift that can be used in case of a fire. The office itself has 2 wheelchair-accessible toilets, gender-neutral toilets and a very large changing places toilet with an accessible slower. There is tactile flooring throughout the office and a range of different seating options. The is a central eating and kitchen space where you can make yourself free tea and coffee.
