Conference Accommodation
Participants must make their own arrangements for accommodation when attending conferences and other events at the Institute of English Studies and the Centre for Manuscript and Print Studies.
London is a large city with a range of accommodation options. We recommend that participants stay in the Bloomsbury area where the Institute 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 Institute: 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.
London Goodenough Club, 23 Mecklenburgh Square, London WC1N 2AD (from £90)
Tel: 020 7769 4727; Fax: 020 7837 9321; web: www.lgt.org.uk
The Goodenough Club has recently been refurbished, offers high-standard accommodation aimed at visiting academics, is used by visitors to the School of Advanced Study and has had good feedback from guests. Prices from £90 for a single room and £120 for a double.
