Accessibility information

The QEII centre is committed to providing access to all. The staff are trained to provide assistance to visitors with limited mobility as well as other disabilities or needs. When securing your place at the Conference please declare any accessibility requirements to ensure we can support your needs at the event.    

Please read the accessibility guide at the QEII Centre to plan your visit.   

Driving

Blue badge holders are permitted to park on the QEII Centre forecourt free of charge. Parking in this location is subject to availability so please call ahead on +44 20 7798 4000 to enquire. Disabled passengers arriving by taxis or alternative vehicles may disembark on the forecourt. 

Public transport

The nearest step-free tube station is Westminster, which is served by the Jubilee, District and Circle lines.

Getting around the centre

There is a ramp from the forecourt which leads to the QEII Centre front doors and is wide enough for easy wheelchair access. In addition to this, a DDA compliant registration point is also available to wheelchair delegates. All our meeting and conference rooms have step-free access via corridors wide enough to easily manoeuvre a wheelchair. 

The QEII has nine passenger lifts, all of which can accommodate a wheelchair. One of these is a fireman’s lift that can be used in the event of an evacuation. There is no fixed seating at the QEII Centre, therefore wheelchair spaces can be positioned anywhere in the meeting rooms.  They can fit a wheelchair ramp to the stage in larger meeting areas, or arrange a portable wheelchair lift to provide access to the stage in smaller meeting rooms. 

Disabled toilet facilities

There are accessible toilet facilities throughout the QEII Centre. These are equipped with emergency alarms and can be accessed from all our rooms by using lifts where necessary. 

Assistance guide dogs

You are welcome to bring your guide dog, hearing dog or other assistance dog into the QEII Centre. 

Induction loops

All conference rooms at the QEII have an induction loop system. This covers the whole area and means that those delegates who are hard of hearing do not have to wear any equipment to use this. You do need to activate the T-switch on your hearing aid but can sit anywhere in the room.
