Disabled Access
Futurising's venue is spread over five buildings, centred around Blossom Street in London. Three of the buildings make up a former tiling factory, built in the nineteenth century. We pride ourselves on meeting all the needs of our guests, although there are a number of period features which may make it difficult for people with limited mobility to get to all areas of the exhibition.
If you have any special access needs, please notify us in advance by emailing access@futurising.org and we will contact you to make the necessary arrangements for you to enjoy all of Futurising.
