3 days in London: an accessible itinerary

Three days, five stops, and not a single long haul between them. This London itinerary is built around places that state disabled access, with short hops rather than cross-city treks: Day 1 moves just 3.5 miles from Hertfordshire Zoo to Lee Valley Animal Adventure Park, and Day 2 shrinks that to 0.8 miles between the Animal Enclosure and the Museum of Homelessness. Arriving by train, your nearest station to London is London Charing Cross.

For stays, Lea Valley Camping and Caravan Park sits 0.7 miles from Ponders End station with disabled access and a bus stop nearby, while the DoubleTree by Hilton London - Marble Arch is 0.4 miles from Bond Street station, 0.9 miles from The Serpentine in Hyde Park, where bathing water is rated Good by the Environment Agency. One sensible habit: ring ahead and confirm the specifics — parking bays, accessible toilets, lifts and ramps — before you book anything.
