Access

The Tate Boat can accommodate wheelchair users. It cannot accommodate mobility scooters. Guide and hearing dogs are welcome.

Exceptionally high tides prevent the Tate Boat from navigating certain Thames bridges. A replacement vessel may be used at these times. Some replacement vessels are not able to accommodate wheelchair users, so we strongly recommend that customers call + 44 (0)20 7887 8888 on the day of travel for full details.
