Access in London

---

A well established guide, published in 1984, 1989, 1996 and 2003. This section includes the contents list. It is still the only integrated source of access information covering accommodation, the transport system and access to the major sights.

If you want a copy, please send your address to:
Access Project (PHSP),
39 Bradley Gardens,
West Ealing,
W13 8HE, UK
or e-mail: gordon.couch@virgin.net

The guides are distributed without charge, but we ask for a donation of £10 to help with the cost of research, printing and postage. Cheques are payable to Access Project if drawn on a British bank. If orders are coming from abroad, please send CASH in your local currency, or use PayPal. We have a UK Business Account with PayPal (www.paypal.com) called Access Project (Gordon Couch) with the e-mail address gordon.couch@virgin.net.
Note that small cheques drawn on a foreign bank are almost valueless, as the bank charges up to US$15 to process them, so we get no money at all for a small cheque !
