Wheelchair hire

Does anyone know of anywhere near the O2 in London that hires out powered wheelchairs by the day? I`m going with 2 of my daughters in February, and as I`m not very able bodied we usually take a wheelchair. But this year they both have health issues and as I`m not the lightest person on earth they will probably struggle pushing me around.

At Westfield Stratford there is Shopmobility where you can hire wheelchairs for free. You have to give some details like driving licence or passport. I don't know whether they have the same system at the O2, but worth a try.

Not sure about types of wheelchairs.

Have you called the O2?
They may have them - and if not be able to advise.

Sorry Joseanne just realised you said the same - I stupidly misread and thought you were talking about the Westfield!

It may be that you have to hire a scooter if no motorised chairs

Thank you for your replies. I haven`t rung them yet, but looking at the website I get the impression that they are ordinary wheelchairs, not motorised ones.

If you google 'electric wheelchair hire in London' quite a selection comes up.

Thank you Franbern, I`ll be looking into one of those sites tomorrow.
