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…
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.

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.
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 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…
I haven’t been to Smiths but it sounds great from the point of view of disabled access and facilities. When I called they said they had 3 disabled toilets, one on the ground where the bar is, one on the top floor and one on the first. It has four floors and there is a…
