Private Accessible Guided Tour of the British Museum

LNot many museums can legitimately be described as the best museum in the world, but the British Museum is one of them! Enjoy a fascinating private accessible Guided Tour of this treasured London highlight, escorted by your friendly knowledgeable, private Blue Badge guide.

With several millions of historic pieces spread over 1 million square feet, the British Museum is one of the world’s most comprehensive art collections, and it is simply impossible to cover everything in one day. However, on this accessible private guided tour of the museum, we’ve carefully crafted a route that is fully wheelchair accessible and covers all the most significant must-see collections. Your private blue badge guide will share lively commentary as you make your way through the different rooms at a relaxed and enjoyable pace tailored to your accessibility needs.

On this wheelchair friendly British Museum guided tour, you’ll experience countless fascinating pieces including the famous Rosetta Stone, the Elgin Marbles, The Sutton Hoo Ship Burial Helmet, the Colossal granite head of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, ancient mummies, the Lewis Chessmen, the Portland Vase and much more. Besides from the ancient artifacts from all over the world, the museum building itself, including breathtaking ceilings and a spectacular glass roof, is a memorable piece of art!

– 3 hour private accessible guided tour using wheelchair friendly routes.
– Lively commentary by your private expert, Blue Badge London guide.
– Tour guide familiar with the needs of disabled travelers
– Great photo opportunities and option to stay at the museum after the tour to explore on your own.

Accessibility Description

I gave the Accessible Guided Tour of the British Museum a 4 Star Sage Accessibility because it has been carefully crafted using wheelchair accessible routes within the museum. Only Galleries 6 and 33B have steps, and up to 95% of the museum is wheelchair accessible using various elevators.

While the entrance on Great Russel Street has 12 steps and a handrail, there are self-operable lifts on both sides of the steps. The area in front of the museum is flat and smooth (see photos below)

There is also level access at the Montague Place entrance. There is a curb to get up from the street level.

The inner courtyard is covered and the entire building, apart from a couple of rooms can be reached using the elevators. There are accessible restrooms available in the Great Court, the Ford Centre for Young Visitors, the Clore Education Centre and to the north of Room 66.
