Wallington Village Hall

Wallington Village Hall,

I went to a antique fair that was run by the same people as Teddington antique fair is run by Kon Kiki Fairs who are great.

The hall is big but dull, it is very accessable because there is a ramp, I struck lucky with the fair, but it was not busy.

You could get a cup of tea 50p coffee 60p and hot chocolate 90p, they also do toasted sandwichs to order from blue cheese and mushrooms to ham and cheese and onion.

The hall has a mens and ladies toilet upstairs right ladies, left mens. The accessible toilet is hidden from view it is a rader key lock but they have the key fixed to the door by a nail fixed to a chain so anyone can use it, it rather defeats the point of having a rader key lock.

The accessable toilet is big, but basic and is missing the emergancy pull cord.

The parking is werid there is NO car park, but there are spaces outside we where in luck.

When we left I pushed the button that said "Push To Open" but the door did not move my mum had to open it by hand the door made the noise as if it wanted to open but nothing came of it.

The Access into the cafe is good but there is a small ridge to get over but no steps, as you can see in the photo the seats are not fixed so you can move them out of the way to make room for a wheelchair. All the tables are the same height.

This photo gives you a good view of the tables, Cafe Strudel has two toilets but unfortunatey they don't have a accessible toilet.

The staff are very nice and they are very keen on having live music.
