The river door, one year on
A ramp, a wider door and a lift to the Vestry changed who comes to the Hall. The figures, and what is still to do.

A year ago the river door opened with a ramp and a level threshold, and the Vestry got a small lift. Before that, a wheelchair user came in through the kitchen.
What changed
We booked 312 wheelchair spaces in the twelve months since, against 74 the year before. Wedding couples ask about it first more often than about the bar.
What is still to do
The gallery is still up fourteen steps. We are looking at a platform lift on the north side; it needs the conservation officer’s blessing and about £60,000.
