Dementia Friendly venue
William Morris Gallery is a Dementia Friendly Venue

William Morris Gallery has been certified as a Dementia Friendly Venue by the Alzheimer’s Society. This means that it is a cultural venue in London offering a range of dementia-friendly resources.

Getting around

There are two manual wheelchairs onsite for visitors to use. To reserve a wheelchair contact the Gallery by calling 020 8496 1470 or use the Enquire button below to email the team.

The Acanthus room on the second floor is often used for talks and private hire. It has a narrow doorway of 63 cm in width. If you are attending an event in this room and have any concerns about the width of your wheelchair, call 020 8496 1470 or use the Enquire button below. Where possible, extra assistance can be provided or the event can be relocated.

 

Parking access

The Gallery has three parking bays available for Blue Badge holders from Tuesday to Sunday during opening hours. 

The Gallery gates are kept locked to prevent unauthorised parking. Blue badge holders are therefore asked to call the Gallery when they arrive and someone will come and let you in. If you don’t have a mobile phone please call in advance of your visit on 020 8496 4390.

There are a reduced number of spaces available on Saturdays due to the Lloyd Park Market. Blue Badge holders can use the ‘pay & display’ parking at Bedford Road car park, free of charge.

You can find more detailed information in the Gallery’s AccessAble guide
