Travel to the Venue

• The venue is 45 mins walk from Liverpool Street station and also close to Bethnal Green.
• Nearest accessible tube station is Whitechapel, but further away, so perhaps bus/taxi might be needed in addition.
• Bikes can be hired for single journeys through Tfl.

Venue details

• The venue has accessible toilets and step free (ramp) access. It has an accessible lift to upper floors.
  
• There will be BSL interpreters for the Community Assembly on Saturday and also the panel talk on Sunday.
• Main Hall and library spaces are large and airy so talks will be amplified. There are also smaller rooms with less air-flow and amplification.

Accommodation

Indoor

You can register as a guest via the the commUnityHome website to find a place to stay. You can also register as a host if you live in London and have space for someone to stay.

Camping

Apologies if you heard the offer of camping in the Open Call, it has been subsequently decided that we don't have the capacity to offer the safety/safeguarding required to be responsible for a pop-up campsite.

List of Hostels

These are options across London, not necessarily close to the venue.

• Astor Hostel Victoria - There’s options for 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10 bed dorms, plus private rooms, so people could book in groups.

• White Ferry House is a pub hostel that also looks like a good option, and there’s several hostels from the same brand in London.

• YHA London Central is on the Victoria line, about a 10-15 minute walk from Oxford Circus tube station, which is a few stops away from Victoria station. Good option for people to book in groups.

• Generator London is near King’s Cross, which is on the Victoria line. It looks pretty trendy, and has things like a bar and games nights.

• Clink261 is also near King’s Cross, and it has a pod room, where you get your own little enclosed bed, so could be good for people travelling alone who want some privacy.

• Zedwell Capsule Hotel in Piccadilly is another Japanese-style capsule hotel where you’ve got your own little pod. It’s a little further away (you’ll need to change tube trains) and a little more expensive too, but looks comfortable and private.

Campervans

We do not advise bringing camper vans to London, however if you do contact commUnityHome for possible driveways to park in, or use JustPark.
