Four disabled parking bays are available on Gallery Road. More disabled spaces are available in nearby Dulwich Park, just opposite our entrance on College Road. Parking is free for Blue Badge holders.
Public toilets, including an accessible toilet with baby changing facilities, are located in the corner of the glass cloister next to the Linbury Room. More facilities are located just outside the cloisters, near our shop, and in the ArtPlay Pavilion.
Folding portable stools are available in the Gallery, please ask a member of staff for assistance. Wooden benches are situated throughout the Gallery and grounds.
The Gallery has wheelchairs available for visitors to borrow during your visit. To book a wheelchair in advance of your visit please contact us by emailing enquiries@dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk

An induction loop operates in the Linbury Room, Art Studio, Admissions Hall and Gallery shop.
Large print guides
We have large print guides for our exhibitions. You can pick one up from the first room of the exhibition.
