Hello all, my first post in this forum!

My friend who uses a motored wheelchair is coming to visit me in East Dulwich soon, and I would love to show her around the area.

We are both in our mid twenties for reference.

I am planning what we can do during her visit, which will hopefully last 3-5 hours.

Has anyone living in the area using a motorized wheelchair got any recommendations for places you love to visit?

Does anyone have any recommendations for cafes that are accessible- so are either step free or have a ramp, have enough space for a wheelchair, and have an accessible toilet?

Are there any shops that are particularly suited to browsing in a chair?

I am trying to do research myself and realizing that not everywhere has accessibility information, so first hand recommendations would be incredible.

We are new friends and as our friendship grows I know that it will become second nature to assess accessibility in the places I visit, but for now as I am learning I would really appreciate any recommendations people can give :-)

Thank you!

My aunt uses an electric wheelchair and the ED picture house is very accessible - even if just for a coffee. We ate in Olivelli which was fairly easy to remove a chair and maneuver about - staff were very amenable and helpful. The Horniman museum is also accessible including the cafe. A little further out but we also go to the Alleyn's Head pub, can park outside and all on one level with no steps.

    • Hi all My car was stolen between 1.30pm-1.50pm today in SE22 East Dulwich in South East London. I have of course reported this to the police but not much is being done, so I thought I'd give this a shot. The registration is GM66YOV, though its possible the licence plate may have been changed by now. If you see it anywhere please contact me or the police. Thankyou!
    • Years ago, got my ears pierced, alcohol on site, gun ..done.. Simple.. Gosh, surely your daughter of mothers can recommend  - do you really need to post on forum? Or maybe you home school whatever.. still recovering from shock, posted along the lines of, advice needed about adopting/ buying a dog…. Guess I am now at a age, where I should just keep quiet and pass no comment and read  postings like a “soap” - cheaper than tv licence…                    
    • Looking for a wrought iron bench with wooden slats in need of restoration - something like this.
    • I would'nt go locally I'd go to Maria Tash in Liberty..it'll be more expensive but they will do a good job and its their buisness not a 'sideline' to other beauty offerings. https://www.mariatash.com/store-locations/maria-tash-london-liberty?srsltid=AfmBOoqMz7Ev-4YqzrlkePX0n3i5JbiggGYSR9kU5z1p_ajP_jjQKqlt I have no experience of piercing at Polished but I went in to enquire about a manicure and I found the staff attitude pretty rude, looking me up and down when I walked in and just giving off a bad attitude like they just could'nt be bothered maybe because I'm not a glam 30 something? I dont know.
