Located right in the heart of Bloomsbury, Hotel Russell will suit both guests travelling on business and those who wish to explore the sights and sounds of one of the great world cities. It sits right beside the commercial and financial district and is just a short tube ride away from the major tourist attractions.
The imposing Victorian façade greets visitors and having undergone a recent £20m restoration project the interior has been transformed to provide the ultimate luxury hotel accommodation and modern meeting rooms. The truly magnificent mosaic floor that lies resplendent in the lobby was laid when the hotel was originally built and has been fully restored to its original state after being covered up due to war damage.
Delegates are responsible for organising their own travel and accommodation. A limited number of rooms have been reserved for conference delegates wishing to stay at the Hotel Russell at a special rate of £139 (single, incl. breakfast). To take advantage of this special rate, delegates must reserve their room no later than 27 April 2010. Wherever possible, accommodation should be reserved early as rooms cannot be guaranteed and rates are subject to change after this date.

Vast, vibrant and truly multicultural, London is one of the world’s great cities. Located in the southeast of England, on the River Thames, it is the capital of the United Kingdom and has been the heart of its political, cultural and business life for centuries.
The twin axis on which London rests is the Houses of Parliament to the west and the City of London to the east. The seat of government (not far from the home of the royal family) is connected to the City (the financial engine room of London and the whole of the UK) by the River Thames.In between lie most of the tourist attractions and the busiest, liveliest entertainment areas, such as Knightsbridge and Soho.
But London’s vivacity and charm stretches far beyond the Circle Line - the Underground route that rings the inner city. Residential areas outside the city center, such as leafy Richmond (southwest) or Hampstead (north), trendy Hoxton (east) or Notting Hill (west), each have their own charm and identity.
London’s very real multiculturalism is evident on every street (and many restaurant plates) and is the reason why people love this city. Tourists come for London’s history or royal pageantry but they return for all the charms of the modern city, not least the extraordinary breadth of London’s cultural life, with world-class art galleries and theaters, buzzing nightlife, film, music, culinary and fashion scenes.
