Access
We want to make sure all our visitors have the best experience possible. Here’s what you need to know before you visit.
We’ve put together this video to help those who feel hesitant about the journey to The Cartoon Museum. It details:
-How to get here from Tottenham Court Road Tube Station.
-The quietest route to the museum, avoiding the hustle and bustle of Oxford Street.
-The types of pavements and curbs that you’ll encounter.
-The types of traffic lights and where you’ll find them.
-Landmarks you’ll pass that are helpful for keeping to the route.
