"In all four screens we’re now able to provide audio description (AD) if available, via infra-red headsets, for those who are blind or partially sighted. Please collect and return your headset to the box office. We’re also able to show, when a film is released with the option available, on-screen subtitles (DS) for customers who are deaf and those experiencing hearing loss.

BFI Southbank is a complex building with a spacious foyer space and two busy bar and restaurant areas that some may find overwhelming. We have identified some quieter areas that visitors may wish to use in order to get away from the crowds and these can be found in the following areas:

The Mezzanine: this is the balcony area directly above the Box Office and can be accessed by either the stairs or lift

If at any time you feel anxious, or need to be away from the public area for any reason, please speak to a member of staff.

Toilets

There are four toilets adapted for wheelchair users. They are situated in:

the foyer of NFT1 next to BFI Bar

the main foyer next to the Mediatheque

the Mezzanine Gallery corridor opposite the Blue Room

the ground-floor corridor next to the lift. This requires a RADAR key, so please ask a member of staff for help if you are not a RADAR key holder

There are three ambulant toilets. They are situated in:

the foyer of NFT1 next to BFI Bar

the main foyer next to the Mediatheque

the first floor in BFI Riverfront"
