Outside and in this is like the archetypal English church. And then you remember that you are in the heart of Kuala Lumpur! Located just off Independence Square (Detaran Merdeka) this has been a place of worship in this location since around 1890. It's all on one level and has step free access. We popped in for a quick visit so not to any of the services but it's well cared for and now one of Kuala Lumpur's most visited attractions.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
Mostly on one level - a couple of different step free entrances - the altar area is raised but didn't hinder our visit too much as you can see around the rest of it. Fascinating plaques on the wall commemorating some of Kuala Lumpur's interesting historical residents - many of them with very British sounding names who were involved in skirmishes of some sort! Lovely and cool for a 10 reflection before heading back out into the Malaysian heat!
Parking & Transport
Good
We meandered over from Independence Square. You need to keep your eyes open for the best dropped kerbs but it is posslbe to get there without negotiating steps etc. There was also a sign at the front door saying that they had accessible parking.
Accessible Toilets
0Not sure - didn't visit it. Would imagine that they have one though.
Staff
Good
Met the vicar (or deputy / assistant vicar if there is such a position?) briefly - seemed a very nice chap!
Additional Information
Definitely pop in to check it out - surreal piece of England in heart of Kuala Lumpur.
