London is the UK’s vibrant capital city, known for its rich history, culture, and architecture. While there are many accommodation options available, we recommend starting your search and booking early to secure the best option for you.
The address of the main conference venue is: IOE, UCL’s Faculty of Education and Society, 20 Bedford Way, London WC1H 0AL
As the conference takes place in central London during peak tourist season, we were unfortunately unable to secure discounted rates. To assist with your search, we have compiled a list of accommodation options in the area. While this list is intended as a helpful starting point, please note that we cannot personally endorse these hotels.
We encourage attendees to explore various online booking platforms to find the most suitable accommodation for you.
For those with accessibility needs, we recommend enquiring directly, as some of the smaller hotels in the area within walking distance of the venue may not have lifts/elevators.
Many hotels in London are within easy reach of the conference venue, either by foot or public transport. Booking instructions and basic terms are provided with each entry. Please note that nightly rates are subject to change based on booking date and availability.
