As a disabled person, it can often be difficult to find the accessibility information you need to plan your day or evening out. At Sociability, we have been busy adding more cafés, restaurants, bars, and pubs in London to our app so you can socialise with confidence.

London Bridge is a historic area, which often means narrow pavements and old buildings, but there are plenty of inclusive gems if you know where to look. Here are our top 6 accessible restaurants in London Bridge that we have mapped so far.

FAQ: Dining at Accessible Restaurants in London Bridge

1. Is Borough Market easy to navigate in a wheelchair?

Borough Market is largely level, though some historic areas feature uneven surfaces. It is often very busy, so visiting during off-peak times (weekday mornings) is recommended for easier navigation.

2. Can I use a Radar Key in London Bridge?

Many venues in this area, including the Old Thameside Inn, use Radar Keys for their accessible toilets. While most venues can lend you a key, carrying your own is the best way to ensure independent access.
