  • If you enter from the riverside, you arrive at Level 2. If you go in the side entrance and straight into the Turbine Hall, you arrive at Level 1. There is no Level 0.
  • The escalator from the Turbine Hall misses Level 2 and goes straight to Level 3 where there are permanent collections.
  • There is a large cloakroom on Level 1. Suggested donation requested.
  • There is an ATM (cash machine) in the Turbine Hall, next to the Ticket Desk. There is no charge to use this machine.
  • Toilets are on every floor so just go up (or down) if there's a queue.
  • There is a Baby Room on Level 1 with one changing table but plenty of room to bring in the buggy, plus there are seats for your partner to join you. If this room is busy, there are pull-down changing tables in the ladies toilets on other floors.
  • Public telephones are available on Level 1 (under the staircase) and on Level 2 near the entrance.
  • Wheelchairs are available. Just ask at the information desk on Level 1.
  • Level 5 has a film screening area where you can sit on steps and learn more about the artists and the works in the galleries. Level 5 also has a Learning Zone with multimedia screens and activities for all ages. Slope access on the far left.
  • Explore screens are available on Levels 3, 4, and 5 concourses for you to search by artist or floor plan area.
