WayOut @ THE WHITE SWAN
556 Commercial Rd, London E14 7JD
ACCESSIBILTY :
On our dates 10th September and 19th November I am very pleased to be able to offer good level access and wide doors for wheelchair users.
But on our other dates we are in the basement so NO wheelchair access.
I don’t believe the venue has an accessible toilet
We hope to have our 2023 dates in the accessible area
GETTING CHANGED AT THE VENUE :
On our dates 10th September and 19th November I am very pleased to be able to offer a great changing space to those that want to make-up and get dressed when they arrive. On our other dates we are in the basement but we can offer the toilets which are uniquely ours.
We hope to have our 2023 dates in the area with the good changing room
