se22live Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 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!

MrsR Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 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.
