Update on The Hoxton Feb 2013: They have 11 Accessible rooms. Look out for the PAD (Pictorial Access Statement) we are producing showing all the less able facilities at The Hoxton. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. The Hoxton is the most disabled aware place I have been to so far. Situated in Shoreditch on Great Eastern Street it is identified by…
Great Eastern Dining Room in Hoxton is another trendy bar restaurant in Shoreditch without a disabled toilet. Access was ok and it looked good with lush cocktails but my bladder can only take so much. They referred us to the Rivington (where there is no DT either) and the the Hoxton hotel which is a…
If you have read my recent story about my visit to Shoreditch you’ll know we passed a place that looked intriguing. It was McQueen a bar, club and restaurant named after the ‘King of Cool’ Steve – one of my idols. It looked busy and darkly glamorous.

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…

This is a very grand old building but the owners have managed to install a lift and a disabled WC on the ground floor. The large…
American Lieutenant’s report on access and facilities available at the Hilton Hotel in Cobham, Surrey. The Hilton Hotel at Cobham, Surrey has four disabled rooms all located on the ground floor. I only viewed one of the rooms which I thought was very well equipped. It had twin beds with plenty of room for manoeuvring…
I used to go to The Victoria in Sheen regularly as it was close to the school attended by my niece and nephew and I would wait there for them when I was deputised to do a school run. It used to be a local, not very popular, pub so when it was transformed into a restaurant/bar…
