Access information

There is level access via the main entrance on Stoke Newington High Street.

The entrance at Church Street now has a new ramp and wider paths to increase accessibility.

The internal drive from the main entrance is cobbled and the major paths within the park are solid, but uneven in places and can be slippery and slightly muddy when wet.

Smaller paths can be narrow, uneven and slippery.

Please contact us on info@abneypark.org with any access queries.
