Travel and shopping

Going to your local shops, visiting the hospital or going to see a friend can be a daunting experience if you have little or no sight. The information in this section will give you tips and advice on how to make travelling around and shopping easier, including driving and using the London underground, shopping online or visiting your local store.

Find out about about Go! Shop - RNIB's project to bring blind and partially sighted people together with retail and transport companies, and improve the shopping experience.
