There are fifty accessible places featured in the guide, which were voted for by disabled people from all over the UK. They were then checked by a disabled researcher and by a panel of ‘mystery shoppers’, who between them have a variety of disabilities. These places are divided into six categories: places of interest, entertainment, sports and leisure, eating and drinking, shopping and clubbing. Based on the votes and the findings of the mystery shoppers, the final fifty were selected, including one or two favourites in each category. The list is entirely subjective. There are probably many places in London with access as good as, or better than our winners. But if nobody voted for them, they won't appear here. Some of the chosen places do not have perfect access for all, but they are accessible enough, and enjoyable enough, to have persuaded people to vote for them. The authors have not carried out professional access audits of the places featured - the information comes from the voters, from researchers, and from the venues themselves
