OUR FAMILY ASSESSMENT

Family Intelligence

Wellcome Collection is an indoor building on three floors, with a café, a shop, several exhibition spaces and a library, and all of its exhibitions are free, as are most of its events. The one thing to plan around is Monday: the galleries and Reading Room are closed that day, apart from listed bank holidays, while the café keeps its doors open all week. Access is step-free throughout, although wheelchairs or mobility devices 75 cm or wider may find some areas limited. You are welcome to take photographs for your own use in most exhibitions, except where signs say otherwise. The bus stop directly outside is currently out of use, but routes 18, 30, 73, 205 and 390 stop close to the main entrance at 183 Euston Road.
