Disabled access to the High Commission
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office are keen to ensure that buildings and services are fully accessible to disabled members of the public. Wherever possible, we have made our buildings and services accessible.
Sometimes however, this is not possible due to security or other restrictions.
However, we can provide appropriate assistance to disabled visitors to ensure access to services.
Please let us know if you have any special requirements by contacting us.
