UPDATE – we’ve started hearing some differing stories about the accessibility at DSTRKT. We’ve been told that they may not let wheelchairs into the club. Apparently they have been telling people that although they haven’t got a problem with wheelchair users, they can’t let them in (see the comment below). Although they have denied this,…
A short Wrap this week as I’m busy stuffing envelopes with BBS Tick Certificates. We’re intending to hand deliver certificates to those venues that have achieved excellence in Style Accessibility and Disabled Facilities and we’re doing this on the anniversary of the London 2012 Paralympics i.e. by 30th August. They also get BBS Stickers to…
The English Restaurant is “an independent, family-owned restaurant in the heart of Spitalfields (Market).” Believe it or not they serve traditional English food and if you ask me, the menu looks amazing!! Although we haven’t been to the English Restaurant (yet!) we found out that they have good disabled access with no steps at the…

They do have a disabled toilet…

If you become a full member of this club you get free entry to events, discounts and access to the private club room! But if…
Well it’s very quiet at this time of year in London i.e. I’ve got no-one to go out with. I had an abortive lunch at Bocca Di Lupo, Piccadilly which I really want to go to as it’s had great reviews and is THE place to go at the moment. Lieutenant No.1 went there and…
We haven’t been to Fino yet but we found out a little bit about it…Fino was “established in 2003 by Sam & Eddie Hart it is in the heart of Fitzrovia.” It is a Spanish restaurant with what looks like a great menu and good disabled access! Did I mention the nice cocktail menu?! “Fino led…
