For those times when using public transportation or black cabs is not practical (e.g. when travelling in a large group, or if you have a lot of luggage, etc.) you may need to hire an accessible car service or rent a van or minibus. We used Wheelchair Travel UK to pick us up from Heathrow (it also rents vans for hire). It was expensive, but well worth it. Our driver met us at the arrivals in Terminal 5. He took us directly to the van (a late model Renault) which was parked very close by -- less than a minute away. The driver was a kind man who did his utmost to make us all as comfortable as possible. We had an enjoyable journey through London, and we arrived at our destination in South London on time and relaxed.

Welcome to Wheel London, the blog devoted to providing London wheelchair accessibility information. My husband and I are a young(ish) couple living in Southwark, London. I am an American expat, and my husband Chazz is English. We recently relocated back to London from Chicago. Chazz is quadriplegic, and uses a power wheelchair. As we reacquaint ourselves with London, we invite you to join us in experiencing the joys (and difficulties) of wheeling in London.
