Mobility and dexterity

We strive to make the UK Parliament estate accessible to visitors with mobility or dexterity impairments by providing:

• Step-free access via the Cromwell Green and Portcullis House visitor entrances.
• Wheelchairs available on request (we recommend bringing your own for maximum comfort).
• There is an alternative accessible route to event spaces in the Palace of Westminster once inside Westminster Hall.
• Wide corridors and fully accessible lifts with space for standard wheelchairs and companions.
• Floor finishes are slip resistant.
• Uncarpeted and low pile carpeted access routes to ease wheelchair manoeuvrability.
• Handrails on all staircases.
• Mobile ramps for staging in larger venues (requires prior notice).
• Accessible toilets are available near event spaces, with clear signage.
• Seating along the visitor route and within event venues is variable and will accomodate people with differenet requirements.
• Flexible seating arrangements to allow positioning of wheelchairs.

We regularly review our physical spaces to ensure they meet accessibility standards and accommodate diverse needs.
