    Date of visit: July 2026

    I am a disabled person. I have experience of challenges around: accessing toilets and moving around.

    I use or have experience of: disabled toilet, wheelchair

    A view of the Cenotaph from one side of the road. It is a tall monument made from light coloured stone. Three of the six flags can be seen from this side, there is no wind so they can't be seen in full. There is a Union Jack in the centre. On the left is the RAF Ensign and on the right is the Red EnsignA view of the Cenotaph as you approach it. You can see that it is narrower than it is wide and there is a wreath symbol on the side

    Good

    This war memorial can be found on Whitehall which has Parliament Square at one end of it and Trafalgar Square at the other end of it. You can get a good view of the memorial from either side of the road as the pavements are wide and there is little to obstruct the view. The pavements on either side are also very well paved.

    Good

    The pavements are wide on either side of the street meaning you can easily stop and look at the memorial without having to struggle with people passing. The pavements are also really well laid.

    I travelled to this place by walk or wheel

    Due to its location, there is no parking near to this memorial. At one end of Whitehall is Westminster Underground Station which provides step-free access to the Jubilee, District and Circle lines. It is roughly 160 metres away. There are a couple of bus stops nearby, one on either side of the road. Between these two stops you can get the 12, 24, 26, 87, 88, 159, 453, N3, N11, N26, N44, N53, N87, N109, N136, N155, and N381.
