“A beautiful museum with plenty for small visitors to see and engage with – lots of lights, colours and shapes“.

First of all it is important to say that the V&A is very good in terms of level access. There are a number of lifts at both entrances of the Museum and near the large staircase at the back right hand-side section as well (near the Cast Courts). This is particularly useful if you want to visit one or two galleries, but avoid other, busier areas. The museum also has plenty of ramps which are useful, but more particularly for a museum of design – they are really beautiful and make a genuinely valid contribution to the aesthetic of the architecture. Well done V&A.

The bathrooms and changing facilities were clean, plentiful and again, design led. There were unisex changing facilities in a disabled access loo and a pull-down changing table in the sink area of the ladies (sorry I can’t comment about the gent, but I hope they had a baby changing table too.)  

A successful and enjoyable visit for both of us. We stayed for 2.5 hours and travelled to the museum by taxi because I couldn’t easily find the nearest step free tube station and wanted to arrive feeling calm and looking neat.
