Kitchen W8 (and the Abingdon previously), has been a favourite of mine for many years as it is easy to get into and the disabled toilet is good, albeit on the lower level. There are a few steps to the top part of the restaurant. I’ve always loved it as a stylish venue to take…
I and Lieutenant Commander Amanda attended a friends wedding at Botleys Mansion near Chertsey in Surrey and while we were there I decided to check out the disabled facilities. 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…
