access london in 2024 and earlier

At Christmas we were stunned by a performance on BBC of RAYE at the Royal Albert Hall where she talked about becoming Independant from her record producer as they would not allow here writings to be published.

I know that Canary wharf has been an important centre of banking for some years. But more importantly, it is now a major travel junction. It is home to the DLR station, the Jubilee station and now the Elizabeth line station. It also has a link to the Thames clipper wharf aka the Uber Thames […]

It is the 1st of June 2022, and the Elizabeth line opened less than a couple of weeks ago. I am still testing the best way to use the new train line and offer advice on accessible routes. I have a hidden disability where I can only walk or climb to my limit. Lets test […]

The Queens Theatre in Hornchurch was an old building in Station road when I first moved to Hornchurch. A couple of years later, a brand new theatre was planned and built between North street and Billet lane Hornchurch. Moving on, I worked in the bar in about 1979 for a brief period. There were some […]

The DDA 2005 suggests that providing a reasonable alternative method of using the service, e.g. the transport for London (TFL) buses and trains, are justified in having 40 to 50 steps in a station, by having alternative and occasional buildings or bus stop which allow access to wheelchair users who have no alternative methods of […]
