Top marks-a work of art

Basically, everything and everywhere seemed spacious (except the lifts!), displays weren't too cluttered and friendly staff.

Fully accessible for the art lover

The Tate modern hosts a range of modern art and is fully accessible, though you may have to use more than one lift. I don't mind that one bit as long as I can reach every level of this incredible gallery.

Brilliant accessible venue in a great location with lots to see

The Tate Modern has been expanded and also made very accessible. It is in a great location overlooking the river and is close to Waterloo. There is plenty to see as well as a new accessible viewing platform on Level 10. There a lots of disabled toilets as well as bars, cafes and a restaurant. It also now has 12 pre bookable blue badge parking bays.
