Watch Out For
⚠️Most Tube stations
📋 The Bottom Line
London has excellent parks, wide sidewalks, and accessible buses. The challenge is the Tube: while step-free access is improving, many stations still have stairs. Use buses or DLR where possible. The city's many green spaces are perfect for strollers, and Londoners are generally helpful if you need assistance.
