The Roundhouse is a performing arts and concert venue situated at the Grade II* listed former railway engine shed in Chalk Farm, London, England.
Accessibility
The Roundhouse has step free (lift) access to Accessible Toilets, Bars and Performance Spaces on all levels as well as level access to the Box Office, MADE Bar and Kitchen and Paul Hamlyn Roundhouse Studios on Level 0. The Main Entrance to the building has level access through power-assisted doors from Chalk Farm Road. The car park offers ramped access to Level 1 (for pre-booked car park users only) via our Stage Door.
Please note that although the Paul Hamlyn Roundhouse Studios are level throughout with a power-assisted internal door, due to the nature of our Grade 2* listed building there are a number of narrow corridors.
We have lowered counter positions at the Box Office, Cloakroom and Paul Hamlyn Roundhouse Studios reception.
Our Main Space is very flexible meaning that the position of wheelchair spaces changes depending on the demands of the event taking place.
We offer a number of wheelchair spaces within seated areas at performances for when seats are in use. In standing areas for gigs or for all-standing shows there is no raised viewing platform for wheelchair users. For such performances, please make yourself known to our Duty Managers prior to doors opening, who will arrange priority entry and be able to advise where best to watch the event.
In the main space our level 2 wheelchair spaces consist of a seat for a personal assistant and a space for a wheelchair. It is not possible to add in a seat into the wheelchair space so anyone using it will have to be using a wheelchair.
In our Studio Theatre, we have a number of wheelchair spaces that are reserved until the performance sells out, at which point they will be put on general sale. In the Sackler Space it is possible to put a chair back in to the space if you decide you would like to transfer from your wheelchair into a seat, just let the Duty Manager know. For promenade performances, wheelchair users are free to roam standing areas and asked to make themselves known to the Duty Manager, prior to doors opening, who will arrange priority entry and be able to advise where best to watch the event.
Although our bars do not have dropped counters for service to wheelchair users, our bar staff are briefed to come out from the bar to take your order.
There are accessible toilet facilities on all floors.
In addition to our wheelchair spaces, we also have several wheelchairs for those with limited-mobility which can be booked for use during your visit by arrangement with the Box Office.
All wheelchair spaces can be booked in-person, over the phone on 0300 6789 222 or you can contact us online.
