What to expect
Free entry does not remove the possibility of a security queue, weather closure or capacity limit. Do not rely on it for a very tight train or boat connection.
Price, without the small print
Free · per adult. General admission. Transport, food and optional extras are outside this activity price.

Time to allow: 30–45 min. This is our estimate for a focused visit. Add time for travel, queues and any extra stops.
Access and taking a break
Level access through Security Reception in Hogarth Court, followed by lifts to the garden on Level 15. The garden has no steps, but its stone paving is not perfectly flat. An accessible toilet is on Level 14, reached by lift. Check lift availability if it is essential to your visit.
Go at your own pace; time estimates exclude travel and queues.
We have not audited a complete step-free route. If a particular access feature matters to you, confirm it with the organisation before travelling.
