We have three Blue Badge parking bays. Access is via Forest Road. The Gallery gates are kept locked to prevent unauthorised parking. Blue badge holders are therefore asked to call the Gallery on 020 8496 1470 when they arrive and someone will come and let you in. If you don't have a mobile phone you can call us in advance so we know to expect you.
An induction loop and large print labels are available at reception. Please contact us if you require British Sign Language (BSL) interpretation to take part in any of our talks and events.
