Overall Rating
Good
This pub is almost fully wheelchair-accessible. Only a few raised podium areas in the front bar cannot be reached by a wheelchair.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
The entrance is at the front of the pub, and is step-free. This brings you straight into the front bar. Here almost all the seating is on the raised podium areas, and the only seating at bar-floor level is tall tables with stools. This makes it impossible for a wheelchair user to sit comfortably around a table with friends. Apart from this problem, accessibility throughout the pub is good. You may need help with the various double doors leading to the accessible toilet.
Parking & Transport
Average
There are no step-free stations nearby. Several bus routes will drop you off very near the pub. Clapham Junction station is deceptively far away, because it's not actually in Clapham, it's in Battersea. The 345 bus will bring you from Clapham Junction (which is fully step free) to the Two Brewers.
Accessible Toilets
Average
The accessible toilet is too small, so that it's very hard to manoeuvre and turn once you're inside. In addition the rubbish bins take up far too much space and make the transfer to the toilet very hard. The toilet is usable, but it's uncomfortable and far from ideal.
Staff
Excellent
The staff are friendly and helpful and cheerful.
Additional Information
I definitely recommend this place to wheelchair users, but the following improvements should be made: (1) provide ordinary low-level tables and chairs in the front bar outside the raised podium areas so that wheelchair users can gather around a table with their friends (2) de-clutter the accessible toilet by providing smaller bins and keeping them out of the wheelchair-transfer area.
