Terrorist attacks
Central London is continuing to get back to 'business as normal' following the bombings in central London on Thursday 7 July (the Metropolitan Police have now reported the total number of fatalities that day to be 56 and the total number of casualties as approximately 700) and following further, related incidents which occurred in London on Thursday 21 and 22 July.

The hotels listed on this website are all within walking distance of the British Library but for information tube stations damaged in the bombings are gradually reopening as the transport system continues to get back to normal. For the latest information on changes to Tube and bus services please see the Transport for London website .

Otherwise, arrangements are progressing as normal and we are looking forward to welcoming you to the conference in September.
