Access Information

Because ll needs are different it is hard to make the blanket statement that We Are Accessible.

We are, however, committed to making our tours as accessible as possible for all who wish to join us. If we are unable to make appropriate adaptations to our standard tour we may offer a low-cost private tour. We have provided information below about the potential access challenges for each of our standard tours so that you can make a judgement as to whether they are suitable for you. If you have any questions please contact us at access@lootours.com

Navigating the Routes for Wheelchair Users and guests with limited mobility

(Steps, curbs, lifts, etc...)

• All tours cover approximately 1.5 miles at a moderate walking pace.

• All tours last between 1.5 and 2 hours.

• We will do our best to discuss any potential needs before the tour, but if at any point you feel uncomfortable or unsafe please don't hesitate to let your guide know and we will find alternative routes.

The Original Loo Tour Route

• The Tour begins at Waterloo Staiton, which has lift access from the Underground and mainline train stations. Street Access is via a ramp from waterloo station road.

• The tour crosses the Jubilee/Hungerford Bridge which is accessible via lift from the South Bank & Embankment sides. Ocasionally the Jubilee Brige lift goes out of service due to bridge maintainance, which is unfortunately out of our control. If you require lift access please let us know in advance and we will confirm that it is working the day before the tour. In the event that it is not functional we can start the tour at an alternate location on the North side of the bridge or transfer your booking to another date or offer a full refund.

• The majority of this tour travels uphill at a gentle slope.
  
  

• The area between St Martin's Lane and Covent Garden has several steep drop curbes. We have had wheelchair users successfully navigate these before but they may not be suitable for everyone (and alternate routes can be taken).

• We cross two patches of cobbled terrain in Covent Garden.

• The final venue on the route (Cellar Door Cocktail Bar) is accessible only via steps, but does have an outdoor seating area at ground level (weather dependant.)
  
  

• This tour finishes in the Covent Garden area, a 15 minute walk or short bus ride back to the starting point.
