London is home to countless historical and modern attractions. Improvements to accessibility in recent years mean that an increasing number of attractions provide good access for disabled people. Take your pick from the most popular London attractions, based on visitor numbers in 2008 or latest available numbers in the case of the London Eye (2005) and Madame Tussuads (2000).
