Mik Scarlet visits The Shard
London is a major global tourist destination. The city is packed with countless modern and historic attractions, but what is on offer if you or one of your party is disabled? We sent broadcaster, journalist and wheelchair user Mik Scarlet to one London’s newest, and tallest, attractions The View From The Shard to experience the facilities for disabled visitors.
*I must admit I am rather afraid of heights, so I entered the foyer of the View From The Shard with trepidation. The helpful and friendly staff put my mind at rest, and as I was whisked up way above the city I found myself gripped with a growing excitement. However nothing could prepare me for the amazing view or how accessible the experience is for everybody. It really is breath taking up there and everyone can try it, no matter what their impairment.

Chatsworth House
In their Life Stories exhibition, they are revealing the stories of people associated with Chatsworth through paired portraits and objects.
They will also welcome the 500 year-old Devonshire Hunting Tapestries, which depict life in the 15th century, back to Chatsworth in partnership with the V&A.
They are looking forward to you exploring the house from 18 May.
Chatsworth, home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, has evolved through the centuries to reflect the tastes, passions and interests of 16 generations of the Cavendish family. There are over 30 rooms to explore in the house, which today contains works of art that span 4000 years. The 105-acre garden has evolved over more than 450 years, and continues to change today. The farmyard has been a favourite day out for children of all ages since 1973, and the 1000-acre park on the banks of the river Derwent was chiefly designed by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown in the 1760s.
Bosu in Japanese means ‘both side up’ and was invented by David Weck back in the early 2000’s and is now used the world over to shape, tone and focus athletes and beginners alike, trust me when I say it is one hell of a way to get fit as we show you here, stretch those thighs!!
