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.

    • Will she stay or will she go now? If she goes there will be trouble  If she stays it will be double  So come on Kier let us know know  https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/19/rachel-reeves-is-dragging-the-labour-party-down-starmer-uk/
    • Nice to see the property is going to reopen with a Newish business, good luck to them.
    • Of course they do, watching cookery shows and buying cook books is a national pastime. However you raise a good point that some people claim they are time poor and end up eating out / takeaways as sometimes a quick macciedee is cheaper and easier than making a quick nutrious family meal.  However to put it in balance, not many people have the knowledge, confidence and time to cook Persian so good luck to team persepolis on this venture. 
    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom.
