General Notes:

 

  • The conference will take place at Birkbeck, University of London, at the Bloomsbury Central London campus.

  • There are literally hundreds of hotels in central London, and many dozens within a short walk of Birkbeck (nearest tube stops: Russell Square; Euston; Goodge Street; Warren Street.

  • Please note that a 'single' room in London generally means a single bed, except in the larger chain hotels (e.g. Holiday Inn, Novotel etc).

  • Please contact the hotel for up-to-date quotes; best prices are usually obtained from the hotels’ own websites, but you could also check Expedia and Travelocity.

  • Book early to avoid disappointment, especially at the University accommodation.

  • All bookings and queries are to be made directly with the hotels.
