Best practice sites for disability access in London

Your access officer might be interested in the information RNIB provides on our website - we do a monthly listing of accessible events and new services in museums and galleries across the UK and also have a downloadable factsheet of museums and galleries in London. The info is at www.rnib.org.uk/audiodescription and then click on museum and galleries (there are links for both visitors and professionals)

An email to the Museums and Galleries Disability Association group email list (MAGDAmail) might generate some opinions on best practice as well.

I would also be very happy to meet your colleague when they are in London (I'm based in Kings Cross) and talk through provision if that is of any use.

Subject: [GEM] Best practice sites for disability access in London

Our access officer is taking a trip down to London to have a look at some exhibitions down there. While she's down there she hopes to see some other sites.

Could anyone recommend any museums/galleries in London which have reputations for a very high standard of accessibility (particularly disabled access)?
