London is an old city, with much of it built in days when nobody thought about disability. However, with a bit of research and a willingness to give yourself extra time to reach your destination, you should be able to get to wherever you wish.

General Information

Accessible London - A section of the Visit London website focused on getting around London 

The London Underground

The London Underground is the most straightforward method of getting around London. However, for those of limited mobility, only sections of the underground are accessible to varying degrees. 

This page by Transport for London (TfL) describes station accessibility

Buses 

All buses are wheelchair accessible and are great way of getting around. However, you made need someone travelling with you, in order to tell the bus driver that the ramp is needed at the next stop. Bus drivers do not always take notice of the ramp request buzzer.

Taxis

All of London's licensed Taxis (i.e. black cabs) are wheelchair accessible and useable by individuals with a wide range of disabilities. However, they can be very expensive if you do not have a Taxicard. The Taxicard gives you very significant discounts on the use of Taxis. Go to the website to check that you are eligible to receive the card.
