Hotels
Below are a few hotel suggestions.
Please note London is a very large city and commuting may be time consuming. We suggest you choose a hotel either close to the conference venue (Acton, White City, Sheperd's Bush) or closer to the social even on Saturday night (Covent Garden, Soho, Charing Cross).
London Underground is expected to start a 24 hour service during the fall on week-ends. The announced date was September 12, but the recent Tube strikes have pushed this back and there is no official date for commencement of the 24 service yet.
Central London
These hotels are close to the social events on Saturday night, but expect around 30 minutes to get to the conference venue on Saturday:
Travelodge Covent Garden: https://www.travelodge.co.uk/hotels/...t-Garden-hotel
