Indispensable!, September 29, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Travel Access in London: A Guide for Those Who Have Problems Getting Around (Paperback)
Having just taken my parents on their first trip to London(dad uses a wheelchair), I know exactly how valuable this exhaustive guide is. We couldn't have survived without it. I did literally hundreds of hours of online research looking for information about disabled access in London, and found information to be very scattered and sporadic. I was literally reduced to begging on a usenet group on European travel for Londoners to share their impressions with me--when one of those very Londoners found Access in London.
No disabled traveler to London should be without this book, which tells you everything you need to know about the accessibility of each and every London attraction, outlines accessible hotels (and explains just exactly *how* accessible each one is), and even offers a "good loo map." Want to know if the West End theater you want to attend can accommodate a wheelchair? Interested in attending a match at Wembley Stadium or getting on the intercity train? This guide has it all, in detail, and it's not written by a gang of able-bodied travel writers guessing at what constitutes "accessible." Both disabled and able-bodied researchers scoured London together to create this gem. It'll tell you exactly how many steps lead into a hotel lobby, where the ramped entrance to a church is, how good the "wheelchair seats" are at a theater, and much more.
Don't leave home without it.

Best disability travel book on London, April 19, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Travel Access in London: A Guide for Those Who Have Problems Getting Around (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book for anyone who has mobility problems. I am a librarian at Moss Rehab Hospital in Philadelphia and run a travel hotline for the disabled. I recommend this book often and know of no other source of information that is as comprehensive. Happy traveling!!

Essential reading for the disabled traveller, September 13, 2001
This review is from: Travel Access in London: A Guide for Those Who Have Problems Getting Around (Paperback)
I use a wheelchair and travel frequently. This series of 3 books (ACCESS IN LONDON and its companion volumes: ACCESS IN PARIS and ACCESS IN ISRAEL) are the most thorough and useful travel guides for a disabled traveller that I have ever seen. If you have a disability and are planning a trip to London, buy this book! I wish the authors would write ACCESS guides to other cities and countries, as well.
