The Tower of London is a historic building and has uneven flooring and many stairs. This makes it unsuitable for most wheelchair users. The Jewel House is completely accessible to all visitors, and toilets with easy ramped access are situated behind the Jewel House.

You can download a copy of the Tower of London Access Guide which is updated regularly.

Facilities for deaf and hard of hearing visitors
  • All ticket kiosks and shops are fitted with induction loops.
  • There are touch screen computer panels around the Tower with textual information and images on the major themes of the Tower's history.
  • The Daily Program leaflet available to all visitors on arrival encourages hard of hearing visitors to ask the costumed guides for hard copy scripts of the historical stories they are re-enacting.
  • Subtitles are included with the film clip from Richard III, shown in the Bloody Tower.
