The Courtauld Institute of Art is fully accessable with a lift to all floors, they have a disabled parking space that you can book for when you visit, so your aready inside the courtyard of the Courtauld gallery, the entrance is reached by a metal portable ramp that is very good but they have not got a small step about an ich high before the ramp but apart from that small step i8t is very good indeed.
photo of entrance and ramp
When you get inside your faced with a flight of steps up to the gallery floor, but they have put in a platform lift so that everyone can get up it's very smooth
The gallery is very good and they have lots of seats around for you to rest on if you need too, the paintings are very good as well and they are NOT copies they are the real ones.
These are just some of the wonderful art work on show here.
The signage is very clear and easy to read, the Courtauld Gallery has it's own cafe that does the normal range of drinks from lattie, tea etc but it is not cheap.
The toilets are very good but they are hard to find, they have a acceat both the Courtauld Gallery and Sommerset House the one at the Courtauld Gallery is the one in the photo
As you can see the door is operated by a push button that opens the door, the toilet is clean but rather small and quite dim.
The other accessable toilet is much brighter but you need to Pull the door it does not say how to open door.
Right when you have finished in the Courtauld Gallery you need to cross to the shop that is not accessable.
Then to get to the accessable entrance of Sommerset House you need to cross the cobbed courtyard by the fountains that children love to play in they are fun to watch and they do a small show of rising and falling.
The entrance is on the right by the back of the cafe with a set of twin doors that are automatic by push pad too.
Inside Sommerset House is a Photographic exhibtion that some people like, also there is a exhibtion on schools that has a load of old school desks turned into infomation points with a coloured light you could work by turning a wheel.
Then the had a wonderful newly built platform lifts two that took you down to the level of the inbankment.
