Information for conference delegates
Travel and accommodation
We request that delegates make their own arrangements for accommodation when attending the conference. We can, however, make the following suggestions. London is a large city with a range of accommodation options. We recommend that participants stay in the Bloomsbury area where UCL is located.
Bloomsbury is within walking distance of many of London's attractions, for instance the British Museum, the British Library, Covent Garden and Soho. Several London Underground lines are in the immediate vicinity of the university: the Northern Line (Goodge Street, Euston and Kings Cross Stations), the Piccadilly Line (Russell Square), the Central Line (Holborn or Tottenham Court Road), the Victoria Line (Warren Street) and the Metropolitan, Hammersmith & City and Circle Lines (Euston Square).

Below are details of some accommodation options in the Bloomsbury area. Where prices are given these are accurate to the best of our knowledge at the time of publishing, but you should check with the relevant hotel or B&B for up-to-date rates and reservation information.
The hotels listed here offer a 10% discount to University of London students. Please ask about the possibility of a discount when booking.
The following hotels are all within 15 minutes' walking distance of UCL.
All hotels and booking sites marked ** are personally recommended by the conference organisers.
