A Mirror at Trafalgar Theatre
Booking
Booking was made via telephone as LW Theatres do not yet have online booking for wheelchair spaces. I am registered through their access scheme.
​
I was contacted via email before the show to enquire about the size and weight of my wheelchair. They also assured me that the chair would fit and they would remove the chairs to accommodate me.
​
Access ticket rate £20
Essential Carer Free
Theatre Location
Great location at the bottom of Trafalgar Square and top of Whitehall.
​
Lots of accessible options for dinner nearby.
​
Theatre Access
Access to the theatre is via a front door. There is lift to the stalls where a manager will accompany you.
Exiting the lift was a little tricky as the exit corridor is on a diagonal and there is not enough space to turn around. It is also busy as the exit is by the bar and toilets. In future I would reverse into the lift from the upstairs lobby.
​
The gradient to the wheelchair space in the stall in easy.
​
I did not access the bar due to the short duration of the play.
Access Host
We did not utilise the access host as a manager escorted us to our seats and there was no interval.
Seat and Staging
We sat in H1 and H2.
​
The wheelchair space (H1) was great. I could stay in my chair and I had a wonderful view. I was also not obstructing anyone else's view as the seat directly behind me was removed.
​
The carer seat was also fantastic.
​
The staging of the performance meant that everything was visible.
​
Toilets
I did not use the toilet as the show was only 2 hours long.
I visited in March 2024 and all views expressed above are my personal opinion.
It was my first visit to Trafalgar Theatre
