Overview

The new Lambeth guide includes physical access information on 294 council-owned buildings. Lambeth Council has worked with AccessAble (formerly DisabledGo) to produce an easy-to-use and searchable guide that sets out access information on key public facilities in the borough. From our schools, leisure centres, parks and libraries, to pharmacies and health centres, the guide provides information on almost 300 venues right across Lambeth.

The guide gives disabled residents, their carers and visitors the ability to check which venues have suitable facilities – giving them more choices about what they want to do and where they want to go.

On the website you’ll find detailed access information to thousands of venues across the UK and the Republic of Ireland: shops, pubs, restaurants, cinemas, theatres, railway stations, hotels, universities, hospitals and more.

Established over 14 years ago, the mission is to maximise independence and choice for disabled people in accessing their local area and the places we all want to visit.

They work on behalf of Local Authorities, top Universities, NHS Trusts and private sector organisations to publish detailed access information on well over 125,000 places of interest across the UK and the Republic of Ireland. They also have a number of prominent strategic partnerships, particularly in the travel and tourism sector, with organisations such as Visit England, Visit London (London & Partners / Greater London Authority), Tourism For All and Open Britain.

Developed by disabled people for disabled people – AccessAble is unique among national access information providers because only they:

• visit and survey every venue on their website in person
• use a survey method that over 800 groups of disabled people have fed into
• have a national network of steering groups that guide our work and support the continuous development of the service
• offer a standardised service – from Aberdeen to Portsmouth.
