    The Tate Modern - good access, questionable art

    The Tate Modern is very wheelchair friendly, with multiple lifts, automatic doors, level and open floors, good lighting, and disabled bathrooms available on all floors. There are plenty of staff members around should you need support. Some of the art is even quite good.

    A Great Day Out at Tate Modern

    The Tate Modern is a wonderful art museum. It has great access to lifts, and when it is not busy, you can move around easily. However, having a map would be great, along with updated art labels to help identify the works and fully enjoy the experience. Or if possible, have an app that includes a voiceover to describe the artwork when you scan a QR code. It is one of the largest museums, and you could easily get lost

    Tate Modern Restaurant - A Wonderful Treat

    We visited and had afternoon tea to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. The staff were amazing and the view was to die for. We finished our meal just as the sun went down and the city was bathed in a golden glow. The service was wonderful and the museum has so many accessible toilets you're spoilt for choice. The Tate Modern itself is very accessible for wheelchair users and this is continued in the restaurant, along with really great service. Thanks to the team there for making our anniversary so memorable.
