Overall Rating
Excellent
The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom is in the former Middlesex Guildhall, a building constructed over one hundred years ago. It has been superbly adapted to its modern function, and has full step-free access to all areas, accessible toilets, and hearing loops.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
Full access to all areas, and every court has a hearing loop. Some of the lifts have the most magnificent doors I have ever seen on a lift, which is a nice bonus.
Parking & Transport
Excellent
Westminster Station is on the other side of Parliament Square and is fully step-free. Several bus routes serve nearby Whitehall and Parliament Square.
Accessible Toilets
Excellent
There are many accessible toilets, both the ones I used were spacious, well-designed, well laid-out, and 100% fit for purpose.
Staff
Excellent
All staff I encountered were keen to be helpful. Someone should tell them that it's OK to smile occasionally - they were needlessly severe and humourless, and occasionally a tiny bit officious.
Additional Information
There is a café, and the prices are gob-smackingly high. Save money - bring your own lunch-box.
