We aim to make London Open Gardens a fully inclusive event, but unfortunately some gardens do present access difficulties, especially for wheelchair users and people with limited mobility. Please check the descriptions on each garden page for full details before making your journey. We rely on information given to us by participating gardens, which may change in the lead up to the weekend.
On this page you can view a list of:
- Gardens that are fully accessible to wheelchair users, and offer accessible toilets on site ** based on information provided to us by gardens in November 2024
- Gardens that are not accessible to wheelchair users ** based on information provided to us by gardens in November 2024
Many other gardens have uneven terrain or gravel surfaces, or may have a single step or raised threshold.
Regarding dogs including working guide dogs and assistance dogs, please check individual garden listing pages for garden rules.
If you need the support of a carer or companion, we are happy to provide them with a complimentary ticket which can be booked online. Please contact our office on 020 7839 3969 or by email at office@londongardenstrust.org if you require any further assistance.
