The meeting will be held in London 

	* Venue: Imperial College, London
	* Time: Monday, February 27 to Friday, March 2 until lunch.
	* Local organizer: Susan Eisenbach

----++ Accommodation

We'll be meeting at Imperial College, London.
Imperial maintains a web page for booking hotels with competitive rates:

The hotel we used last time (for the ECOOP PC meeting) was:

 Grange Strathmore Hotel
 41 Queen's Gate Gardens, London SW7 5NB

Another option - especially as funding seems ever tighter these days -
is a hotel booking service - this one is apparently quite good:

----++ Workshop fee

The workshop fee covers food coffee, lunch, dinner, and an outing to the Design Museum.
The cost is £285 + 1.345% credit card fee.  Credit card payment can be made here:

----++ Getting there

The closest underground station to Imperial College is South Kensington. The workshop will be in 219A William Penny Lab. This is off the main walkway on the right as can be seen on the Campus Map:

Alternatively, you can take the underground to Gloucester Road station and then come into the main Computing Building at 180 Queen's Gate. Go up the main staircase and then exit onto the main walkway. The William Penny lab will be on your left (after passing a couple of other buildings).
