Is the HMS Belfast wheelchair-friendly?

Unfortunately, the nature of the ship makes access to some of the areas below decks impossible for wheelchair users, prams, pushchairs and strollers and unsuitable for persons with restricted mobility.

However, modifications have been made to the Main Deck, the Quarterdeck, Boat Deck and The Café to make them accessible to wheelchair users, and parents with prams, pushchairs, and strollers. The Main Deck includes The Laundry, The Ship's Chapel, The Bakery, Galley and associated prep areas, Petty Officers' Mess, Sick Bay, Arctic Mess Decks and Dental Surgery.
