To help us provide the best possible service, we’ve partnered with Nimbus Disability and The Access Card; a universal way of communicating your access requirements as a disabled person. Nimbus Disability is a social enterprise and an organisation run by and for disabled people and is recognised as a lead authority on accessible ticketing in the UK.

To ensure the right tickets are sold to the right people, we require all access bookers to provide us with a Nimbus registration number in order to qualify for any access discounts available at the time of booking. Registering is a three-step process and completely free.

Walking: Both Westminster and Waterloo Bridges are wheelchair accessible, as are the Golden Jubilee Bridges, connecting the South Bank with Victoria Embankment.

Driving: There are a couple of car parks nearby, though they are relatively expensive; Waterloo Car Park is a 2 minute walk from County Hall but has no disabled parking bays - click here for more information.

Q-Park Westminster is a 12 minute walk away and whilst it does not have any disabled parking bays, Q-Park strive to make their car parks accessible with lifts, ramps and automatic doors - click here for more information.

Please note that as Belvedere Road is a private road, it is not possible for taxis or other vehicles to drop off at the entrance to County Hall.

The nearest drop off point for vehicles is 50 metres from the theatre entrance at the corner of Belvedere Road and Chicheley Street. Alternatively, taxis can drop off at Park Plaza Westminster Bridge which is a shot walk over Forum Magnum Square to the theatre entrance.

We advise that patrons with access requirements check with box office before purchasing Gallery tickets.
