Some areas of the Abbey are unavoidably inaccessible to people permanently confined to wheelchairs. Therefore, we offer free admission to such visitors and their carers. Visitors should enter via the North Door, where there is a small ramped step.
We have our own wheelchairs that are freely available to use. Speak to a Marshal on your arrival and they will arrange it. If you prefer to use your own wheelchair, you will have access to most areas of the Abbey. A stair climber is available which can be used with an electric wheelchair for access to the Henry VII Chapel.
For those who have difficulty getting up the stairs and spiral staircase to our Library, we can make documents available by appointment at Westminster City Archive Centre in St Ann's Street, where access is very easy. Contact the Library at library@westminster-abbey.org for further advice.
