Registration

Register by entering your name in the Attendees section below.

  • Registration fee to be decided (depending on number of participants). Aiming for £140, to include lunches and coffee breaks and 1 evening dinner. This will be payable by credit card the first day of the meeting. Please use the Attendees table below to register for the meeting.

Lodging Information

Please make your own Hotel reservations (see table below). The most reasonable hotels are Ibis and Premier Inn.

Early booking is recommended as the prices are likely to increase closer to the time, some sites offer free cancellation options. It might be worth checking hotel costs direct from hotel versus online sites eg [booking.com] filter on bloomsbury, or [Tripadvisor.co.uk].

All hotels below are within a 10-15 min walk from the meeting room. In General London is a pretty safe area, although 20 min east of UCL (around King's cross) is a red light district so I would suggest you avoid this area. None of the hotels below are in the Red Light area! Obviously there are a lot more hotels you could try.

If anyone has stayed in these hotels please comment on them below.

Maps and Transportation

Airport to Central London

Assuming flights to Heathrow

The meeting is in central London and is walkable from Euston, Euston Square, Warren Street, Goodge Street tube stations. Note Tottenham Court Road Tube station is closed.

There is a good journey planner site

Either: catch the Heathrow express train from Heathrow to Paddington, and then get a taxi, or to your hotel from there, or get the tube (East) to Euston Square (Hammersmith & City Line towards Baker Street or Circle Line towards Kings Cross St Pancras). Journey time around 1 hour. Cost around £38 return, £21 single.

Or get the Piccadilly tube: from Heathrow to Green Park and change onto the Victoria Line (North) and either get out at Warren Street (meeting) or Euston (depending on hotel). Journey time around 1 hour 10 min. Cost around £5 single (Heathrow is zone 6).

Or taxi, there are lots of online sites suggesting the cost is around £44, each way, and will take about 40 min (but this will be traffic dependent).
