Accessibility

In Person

We pride ourselves at the Society of Antiquaries on being visitor friendly. We welcome wheelchairs and all types of mobility vechicles. Our groundfloor is fully accessible and we have a lift which can be used to access the upper floors.

Prior to or on your arrival at the society, please contact our team on 020 7479 7095 to gain access. Our entrance is made up of steps, however we can provide ramps so that users can access the society apartments. These will be put out by our staff and they will help you to enter and exit the building safely. For more information please contact us.

Getting to Burlington House

The most accessible tube station nearby is Green Park, which has platforms with designated level access boarding points and access via lifts. You can learn more about which tube stations are accessible on TFL’s website here. All London bus routes are served by low-floor vehicles, with a dedicated space for one wheelchair user and an access ramp. Buses can also be lowered to reduce the step-up from the pavement. The nearest bus stop to Burlington House is Old Bond Street/Royal Academy, which serves bus routes 14, 19. 23, 38, 9, N19, N39, N9 and N97.

Online

We recognise the importance of providing a website that is usable and accessible to as many people as possible. As a charity, this is particularly important to us.

Some people with disabilities find using the web difficult, and many sites do not accommodate those with visual or other disabilities. Whilst we know that it is impossible to design a site that everyone can use, we have been guided by our web developers, Woven Agency, in designing and building this site with accessibility in mind so that more people can access its content.
