Accessible public toilets
There are thousands of public toilets that are accessible to disabled people and wheelchair users in particular. Many are accessible by using a special key provided by RADAR. Though there is a small charge for the key, it is then yours to keep for future visits. Contact:

Other accessible toilets can be found in places such as Tourist Information Centres, supermarkets, fast food restaurants, train and bus stations, ferry piers and many of Britain’s tourist attractions.
When travelling on the motorway system, there are Service Stations, generally about 30-45 minutes’ drive apart. Each one of these has good facilities for disabled travellers.
