With London winning the Olympic and Paralympic Games on the basis that it will be the most accessible games ever, the Mayor of London wants people to take part in a consultation to find out what is and isn’t accessible in the Capital.

Londoners and visitors are invited to respond to the Mayor’s accessibility survey, which is run in partnership with Direct Enquiries.

The study will enable the people who live, work and visit London to tell the Mayor and his team what works well in the Capital and what needs to change to make it more accessible for people who are disabled, deaf or older, and parents with pushchairs.

The survey aims to highlight areas in need of immediate improvement including access to restaurants, hotels and tourists attractions. The Mayor believes that organisations and businesses need to radically alter the way they think about disability and access.

The survey is the first major consultation asking Londoners and visitors about their experiences of the capital. Questions include:

    * Best and worst things about London
    * Attractions you would most like to visit but cannot because you find them inaccessible
    * Practical changes hoteliers could implement to make locations more accessible

This is a chance for people to leave a lasting legacy and make London a better place for everyone.
