Public transport and disabled access

Transport is an important way of helping you get out and about. The GOV.UK website has information about transport support services for disabled people.

London Underground and buses

There are details on accessibility when travelling around London on the Transport for London (TfL) Accessibility website.

Planning your journey

When using London Underground or travelling by bus, it can be a good idea to plan your journey first. This is so you can see which stations and stops are the most accessible to your needs.

There are further details on the TfL website on wheelchair access and avoiding stairs. You can also find out which stations have toilet facilities. Read more about accessible toilets and changing places.
