All our Wetland Centres exist to fulfil founder Peter Scott’s vision of connecting people with nature, so we make it a principle that our wetlands and wildlife are accessible.

WWT London Wetland Centre has the following facilities:

  • Free accessible car parking provision. Blue Badge Holders are reserved spaces at the front of our car park for closer access to the centre.
  • Trained assistance dogs welcome.
  • Maps can be enlarged, please ask ahead of your visit.
  • Manual wheelchairs available to loan. These must be booked in advance. Please contact our reception team on info.london@wwt.org.uk.
  • Three mobility scooters available (a suggested £5.00 voluntary donation to go towards the maintenance of our scooters would be greatly appreciated). These must be booked in advance. Please contact our reception team on info.london@wwt.org.uk.
  • The centre is largely flat, with tarmac paths in most places and boardwalks with some uneven wooden planks.
  • There are a number of gates with stiff / heavy opening mechanisms. Our roaming volunteers or staff can assist, please ask.
  • Level access hides.
  • Headley Hide has wide turning circle. The door is 78cm wide.
  • Heated Observatory with views across the reserve.
  • Peacock Tower – three storey with lift.
  • Accessible toilets in car park and visitor centre.
  • We can provide an adult changing mat and a private space for your convenience. Ask our admissions team for support.
  • Cafe staff are friendly and helpful and will carry trays to the table if required.
