Accessibility

Access Overview

Wheelchair access to the theatre is around the side on Wardour Street. An access host will greet you at the main entrance and take you round. Once inside the accessible transfer seat and Schonberg Loge are directly in front on you. If you chose to transfer your chair will be kept in the lobby. Access staff are happy to move manual chairs but request that electric chairs are operated by your companion.

Toilet Facilities

The accessible toilet was located in the lobby down a gentle slope from the wheelchair spaces. It was a fair size and you are able to side transfer. I needed assistance closing the door because it is slightly uphill but staff were more than happy to assist.

Access Host

The access host was excellent despite being incredibly busy they frequently checked in on us and make sure we were looked after. During the interval they assisted with access to the toilet facilities and helped us exit after the performance.

Seat & View

Non transfer seats are available in the Schonberg Loge which are advertised as a side view. Transfer seats are located in Dress Circle Row D2, 3 and accessible seats (via a step or two) are also in the Dress Circle Row E 1,2,28,29 and Row F 1,2,28,29.

We sat in transfer seats D2 and D3. The transfer was easy and the seat (with a little extra cushion) was fine of the whole performance. The view was very good, a couple of moments were blocked by the safety rail but it didn't detract from the overall experience. I would choose these seats again over the wheelchair park which has a much more side on view.
