Is the shop wheelchair accessible?
The bookshop is wheelchair accessible. The old building has been adapted to allow for wheelchair users to browse freely. There is an accessible door with lift on the right-hand side of the shop as you face it. Ring the bell and the door will open. This door gives access to the Ground Floor, the First Floor and Cafe and the Second Floor via the customer lift. To visit the Music Shop and the Norrington Room, please enter through the Music Shop and use the lift to go underground. The only part of the bookshop which is not accessible by wheelchair is the Philosophy and Sociology Department in the basement; booksellers will be very swift to bring any books up to the Customer Service Desk in the middle of the room. There is a key accessible toilet on the First Floor.
