London: Tower of London and Thames River Cruise

The Tower of London has done a terrific job of providing access information for disabled visitors. You can download a free access guidebook in PDF format (2.0 MB). It’s obvious that they’ve put a lot of care and effort into producing this, so definitely grab this freebie if you’re considering a visit to The Tower.

You can combine a visit to the Tower of London with a Thames River Cruise – both venues are described as being “wheelchair friendly” and The Tower also has information in Braille and tactile models for people who are blind or partially sighted, and audio guides and sign language tours for deaf people. They even have a motorised caterpillar chair for access into the Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula. Not all places are totally accessible due to stairs, narrow passages etc, but all the information you need is detailed in their free access guide.

By taking this combined tour you will be able to experience many of London’s most popular attractions, including the Crown Jewels and various exhibitions. Pricing starts at £30 for this one day pass.  For more details and to book online, please visit:
