Access information

Level access

The Jewel House, which houses the Crown Jewels, has level access. There is a moving walkway (‘travelator’) alongside the Crown Jewels. Our Palace Hosts will be happy to stop the travelator.

Mobility aids

A wheelchair is available free of charge. These cannot be pre-booked and are issued on a first-come first-served basis. It can be obtained by speaking to a member of staff on entry.

Lifts and ramps

There is a lift in the White Tower, which will take you to and from the shop in the basement. This is on the north side of the White Tower, opposite the entrance to the Crown Jewels. For safety reasons, we can only permit one wheelchair user in the basement at a time. Please ask a member of staff in the area for assistance.

There is a platform lift at the end of the moving walkway in the Crown Jewels exhibition, which allows you to access the raised platform to spend more time viewing the Crown Jewels. It is not suitable for mobility scooters. Please ask a member of the Jewel House team to use the lift.
