The Parlour is a high end cocktail bar and eatery located in Canary Wharf. It lies adjacent to One Canada Square , which prior to The Shard, stood as the tallest building in London. Accessibility wise, the transport system around Canary Wharf is excellent. Once inside the Parlour itself, I found the staff incredibly attentive…
There’s No Stopping Alex Our Latest Staff lieutenant: The Hippodrome is Kingston’s best nightclub. It caters to a variety of genres throughout the week, above and beyond the mainstream chart dirge. Thursday serves up New Slang, the premier indie night, whilst Saturday offers a myriad of classic tracks, spanning all genres. Many clubs fail to…
LOVEBOX music festival is one of the more convenient destinations for wheelchair users. Held in Victoria Park, and now celebrating its 10th anniversary, the relatively confined event space, at least in comparison to Glastonbury or Reading, makes it much easier to navigate the various stages.

The bar looked inviting with leather Chesterfields and we didn’t…
A few weeks ago I and the American Lieutenant went to Shoreditch to update my previous review. There was too much ‘trendiness’ to see in one visit. We started at The Hoxton, Urban Lodge – one of the most disabled aware places I have ever been. I will review in full later, needless to say…
Chinawhite, club, bar & restaurant has not been audited yet but they have a lift and if not working ‘the security’ will help. They don’t think they have a disabled toilet – being checked! So only 1.5 BBS Ticks at moment.
Update Sept 2015: Ossenberg are now distributed through Mobility Choices in the UK or direct from their website. See this link .
