Things to Do South East

The south east is full of interesting disabled friendly things to do from top attractions and activities to theatres and places of historical interest, plus coastal areas and areas of quaint country villages.

The south east is home to England’s capital, London, with its many iconic landmarks, from Buckingham Palace to the London Eye, to Camden Market, the Tower of London and the Houses of Parliament as well as the famous parks, West End theatre district and more. Many of the museums are free to enjoy and the majority of attractions are accessible for all. The older venues have also worked to improve their accessibility over recent years, so you’ll find that there are a whole host of fun activities you can get involved with, whether that’s doing some sightseeing, visiting an attraction, going to the theatre for a relaxed performance or doing some shopping while in the capital. If you choose to venture around the city using public transport make sure to grab yourself a tube map, as stations with pavement access and accessible platforms are clearly marked, otherwise, station staff are always happy to help and many of them have lifts to help those with mobility restrictions.

If you’re not heading into London, there are still plenty of delights in the other areas of the south east. For beach and coastal resorts, you can enjoy places like Clacton on Sea, Eastbourne, Brighton, Bognor and Portsmouth, as well as areas of Hampshire, where you can enjoy all the British seaside traditions. All these areas have much more going for them than just their proximity to the beach, you’ll also find shops boasting autism friendly hours, theatres with relaxed performances, accessible museums and more with many of them being proud of their inclusivity.

The south east has everything from royal palaces, like those in London and Windsor, to the white cliffs of Dover in neighbouring Kent, to great shopping districts like Brighton’s Lanes and Reading’s malls, to the historic areas of Bedfordshire and the quaint villages of Buckinghamshire. There are even wild horses to be found in the New Forest in Hampshire, which is also a pretty perfect spot for a picnic!

Wherever you are in the south east, you’ll be sure to find something to suit your tastes and budget and each attraction, shopping centre and site of interest will have worked to include as many accessibility provisions as possible, whether that’s hearing loops, admission for guide dogs, level floors or even staff that can communicate in BSL. Many of the top attractions and landmarks in this part of the country also offer concessions on entry for anyone travelling with a carer and spaces for blue badge holders are plentiful. Even regions that have a congestion charge have a concession for blue badge holders.

For those of you that love festivals, you’ll find a whole host of them covering every genre in the south east, from the famous Isle of Wight Festival, to Reading and the many events that take place in parks and seaside resorts all over the region. It isn’t just music either, you’ll find food festivals, literary festivals, comic cons, tattoo conventions, just about everything! The venues are happy to help anyone who has any accessibility concerns and often provide passes to avoid queues, as well as making sure that there are level floors, lifts and that service animals can attend.
