The irregular layout and narrow front door frame, which is reached via a small step from the pavement, can make it difficult for anyone with additional mobility requirements or wheel chair users to use with ease.
The doorway measures 61cm, that’s 24 inches or 2 ft wide at its narrowest point and unfortunately a standard sized wheelchair will NOT fit through the door.
Our team are always happy to assist guests to access the shop but we need to make you aware that we do NOT have an accessible/disabled toilet due to the constraints of the building.
The front door is quite narrow measuring 61cm, that’s 2 ft or 24 inches at its narrowest.
