General Notes:
- The conference will take place at Birkbeck, University of London, at the Bloomsbury campus.
- The conference takes place at a busy time of the year in London, and we are not able to offer any discounts to conference participants.
- So, please book early to avoid disappointment, especially at the University accommodation.
- 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).
- All prices are subject to change without notification.
- 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.
- All bookings and queries are to be made directly with the hotels.
