OPINION - Tanni Grey-Thompson: It is shocking that a Tube station like South Kensington is still not step-free

This summer, the V&A Museum opens its doors to a new exhibition Design and Disability, which aims to celebrate the creative force of Disabled, Deaf and neurodivergent people across design, art and culture. Described as “both a celebration and a call to action”, the exhibition will highlight the many ways in which the world is designed without regard for the needs of disabled members of our society.

But here’s the irony. If you’re a disabled person planning your visit, the V&A’s own website still advises you that the nearest step-free Tube station is 1.3 miles away.
