Independent Dance is a resident organisation at Siobhan Davies Studios (SDS) in London.
SDS houses two large and airy spaces, the Roof Studio and the Research Studio, gender-inclusive toilets, showers, kitchen and indoor and outdoor meeting spaces.
Siobhan Davies Studios is mostly accessible to wheelchair users, with lifts to all floors. The main door is power assisted.
There are two accessible parking spaces available on site which can be booked in advance by calling or emailing reception. Blue Badge parking is also available nearby on West Square and Garden Row (for a full map visit the Southwark Council website).
Amenities include:
- Changing facilities*
- Communal showers*
- Lockers
- Toilets / wheelchair accessible toilets on the ground and first floor*
- Kitchen: tea and coffee making, fridge, and microwave
* Please note that the disabled toilets may not be suitable for all users (toilets in the disabled cubicles are 42cm high) and the changing facilities and showers are not fully accessible. The closest publicly available and fully accessible changing facility is at The Castle Centre, a leisure centre 0.3 miles away from the studios. You can find full details of their features here.
SDS and ID are working towards generating more resources to reduce barriers still further.
