Access is one of a number of apps of this type, although it is also
perhaps the most advanced. It is the brainchild of David Biddle, a
disabled survivor of the 7/7 London terrorist attacks. He lost both
his legs, his left eye, and his spleen in the bombings. When he
became a wheelchair-user, he discovered that the information around
his city of London can be quite unreliable. [...] An icon-based guide
to London, it provides the disabled with information on such things
as how accessible the parking is and whether there are stairs, and if
there are toilets at particular locations. The main menu allows you
to choose from Attractions, Hotels, Places to Eat, Entertainment, and
Transport."
