Accessibility & Facilities

Designated disabled parking for the park can be found in the visitor carpark. 

Disabled parking for the museum must be booked in advance, please phone 020 3961 0280 or email to book.

The museum, visitor reception and shop are accessed by a short ramp. Inside, a self-operated lift serves all the galleries and is suitable for wheelchairs, including small motorised ones. Please let a member of the team know if you need any assistance. We have a manual wheelchair available to borrow and there is seating in each gallery.

There is a network of tarmac paths within the park at Gunnersbury. However, because the park is a natural environment, paths may be uneven in places. There is ramped access at both ends of the mansion terrace, which has a thin, compacted gravel surface. Seats are positioned along the paths, especially those surrounding the lawns in front of the mansions.

There is an accessible toilet in the museum. There is also an accessible toilet in the park toilet block, which is located near the museum.

The museum tells Gunnersbury’s stories through a mixture of objects, written information, film and audio. Films with spoken words are subtitled. Our gallery guides will be happy to talk about the exhibition and indicate objects that can be handled. There is a hearing loop (also known as an audio induction loop) in the museum reception area.

In the park, enjoy a feast for the senses! Visit the rose garden in the summer and breathe in the scent of over 100 roses filling the air. Listen to the buzz and hum of the insects enjoying our wild cornflower meadow.
