Update on Balthazar March 2015. Visited this lovely restaurant and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful to me and my wheelchair. The access is good from street level and the disabled toilet is upstairs via the lift. No issues with that as it’s not a ‘Ludicrous Loo’. Very lively and not so noisy…

The Espresso Library is a trendy cafe in Cambridge, it’s not far from the center of town but is far enough out for it to be quiet for long periods of time. Mostly a student venue, lots of Mac books and small groups of people having a couple coffee’s between lectures… You can get some…
No 1 Lieutenant went to visit Rabbit a new restaurant in the Kings Rd., Chelsea, run by the ‘Gladwin’ Brothers – Gregory the farmer; Oliver the chef (at Oxo Tower & River Cottage) and Richard who went into hospitality (manager of Bunga Bunga in Battersea).

Somewhere where access can be difficult due to the number of old/ listed buildings and cobbled streets. We unleashed the readers and the people who work for us on London! And what fun we…
I’ve been to two pub/restaurants recently that according to their staff were accessible. They were, to a certain extent but there’s always something they omit to tell you and it’s not because they’re forgetful it’s just that unless you’ve ‘walked a mile in my shoes’ (not a good metaphor when you’re in a wheelchair) you’re…
