Everyone is welcome to join. Any wheelchair users might struggle with the uneven terrain, so we would recommend to have someone with you who is able to assist. There is no access restrictions, just uneven services around London. I would also say for the visually impaired, we have lots of roles to choose from, we would also just recommend bringing someone with you for safety around London. Lots of stations within London have accessible access, but please check before traveling the one you have chosen to arrive at has this available.
