Accessibility at Tate Britain

The Millbank entrance has the famous steps, but there is level access at the Manton entrance on Atterbury Street. Staff at either door will point you the right way if you're not sure.

Lifts reach every public floor and the galleries are wide and flat, with benches and seating dotted through the route. Accessible toilets are available on the main floors, and there are places to sit quietly if you need a break from busy rooms.

Weekday mornings just after opening are the calmest time. Ear defenders can usually be borrowed, and staff are happy to suggest a quieter route through the collection.

If you have specific access needs, ring the gallery on +44 20 7887 8888 or check the access pages on tate.org.uk. Carers and essential companions are usually admitted free to ticketed exhibitions.
