Overall Rating
Excellent
This church has a level entrance on Battersea Rise, and a lift at the Boutflower Road entrance. The button for the automatic door on Boutflower Road doesn't work, but the receptionist will let you in if you get their attention via the buzzer. There are steps up to the main hall, or a lift through the door on your right. You may need help to manage the fire door and lift door as they are close together. The lift will get you to all levels of the hall. There is an accessible toilet. The doors from the hall to the church are generally propped open when a service or event is happening. There is one room in the organ loft which is not accessible by wheelchair, which is mainly used for youth groups. There is a separate level-access entrance to the crypt from outside - you will need to let someone know to open it for you, as most people will use the stairs inside.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
There is an induction loop, used for services. Most hymn words and responses are on the large projector screen. Large print can be provided if you request in advance.
Parking & Transport
Average
There are two parking spaces right by the church, but no reservation system - get there early. There is also on-street parking nearby, which also fills up early. There are plenty of bus stops nearby, though a slight slope on Battersea Rise to get from the bus stop to the church.
Accessible Toilets
Good
Easy to find, enough room to turn around, grab bars are good. Red cord is often tied up as baby changing is also in there.
