The Slade’s main building is a Grade I listed building and includes various additions that were put in place before building regulations gave full consideration to accessibility.

While some areas of the building are accessible with support, there are sections of the building that would be considered inaccessible to wheelchair users and people with limited mobility.

Our shortfalls on building accessibility have been identified, but we aim to ensure the necessary support is available to all where possible and within these limitations.

Tube

The closest tube stations are Euston Square station (4-minute walk), Warren Street station (4-minute walk) and Euston station (6-minute walk).
