The next two years are likely to see a huge influx of people into the capital, with the Royal Wedding followed by the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

People planning a trip to the city can use the website to find out about the accessibility features of hotels, restaurants, pubs, shops, museums and tourist attractions, the 2012 Games venues and more.

Chris Holmes, director of Paralympic integration at London 2012, said: "InclusiveLondon.com is a fantastic tool that will help us to deliver the most accessible and inclusive Games ever.

"The site is an invaluable resource for anyone with additional access needs - whether you're a sports fan planning a trip to the city or simply someone who wants to soak up the party atmosphere during the Games."

The user-friendly site, which will continue to run after the Games, will allow people to post reviews and give feedback.

Businesses are being encouraged to log on and sign-up to the site so they can register their details and advertise the accessible facilities they offer.

The site hopes to become a first port of call for people planning a trip to the capital in 2012 and beyond.

Deputy Mayor of London, Richard Barnes, said: "At the Beijing Games in 2008 the Mayor said the next Games in London would be the most accessible ever.

"I also want everybody to have the same opportunities to experience the wonders of this great city whenever they come, whether it is experiencing a great event or touring its wonderful attractions, from its museums and theatres to its shops and restaurants.

"This is a first for a host city and I am confident that as users add information to the site it will become a valuable one-stop shop to help visitors with specific access needs to get around the capital and make the most of their stay."

Joyce Cook, chair of Level Playing Field, formerly National Association of Disabled Supporters, added: "One of the biggest challenges faced by any travelling disabled sports fan is to find reliable information on accessible accommodation, tourist spots and travel around a city.

"We very much welcome this new website which will most definitely be of great help to disabled travellers visiting London 2012 for both the Olympic and Paralympic Games."

Inclusivelondon.com will be able to filter search results by various accessibility features, such as whether a location has wheelchair or pushchair access, if there are hearing loops available, if there are baby-changing facilities, whether assistance dogs are welcome and details of parking and toilet facilities.

It can also help people plan their trip to the capital by providing a direct link to the Transport for London journey planner.

It has been developed by the London 2012 team at City Hall working with Direct Enquiries, founders of the Nationwide Access Register, a respected provider of accessibility information online.

Grant Kennedy, chief executive of Direct Enquiries, said: "InclusiveLondon.com will provide valuable information to millions of people who require specific access and facilities.

"This site will lead to disabled and older people having greater choice and will assist companies to improve their service for a wider audience."

InclusiveLondon.com can be accessed via VisitLondon.com, the capital's official visitor organisation, which receives around 1.5 million visits a month.
