Sir John Soane's Museum

Wheelchair info: We now have an internal and an external platform lift for step free access to the Museum. Please call ahead so that we have a member of staff on hand to operate the lift as, due to our Grade 1 listing, the lift cannot be in a public space. If you use crutches or a walking stick, you should be able to go everywhere inside, but some spaces are too narrow for walking frames. If you would like to borrow one of our custom wheelchairs, please call ahead. Inside, standard wheelchairs are usually too big for our narrow corridors and doorways, so visitors with wheelchairs larger than 41cm wide, 84cm deep and a height of 82cm, will be asked to transfer to our own specially manufactured narrow wheelchairs. Wheelchair users will have to use the museum narrow wheelchair to get there. The internal lift is located at the back of the Museum. To access it you need to move through the Dome area which has very narrow spaces not big enough for a regular wheelchair. Phone Number Hours
