Accessibility details

Fulham Palace is fully accessible, but some of the behind the scenes areas the Heritage Open Days tour covers are not wheelchair accessible. The museum, cafe, gardens and historic spaces are fully wheelchair accessible. Access to the Tudor courtyard office is via a staircase of approx. 20 steps, with some large steps up and down inside the office space. There are uneven floors, some areas of reduced head space, steep staircases and for this reason we recommend visitors have a medium-high level of agility and a reasonable level of fitness to take part in the tour.
