Would anyone be able to put up with a house-trained out-of-town Nature editor for that weekend? I promise not to bring my chicken with me…

You could stay in my flat for the weekend. OK, it’s on the other side of Europe, but I won’t be there. And Jack says the chicken will be more than welcome.
I’ll also be looking for somewhere to stay, and I know others will to. Perhaps this will be a good spot to shout out if you need accommodation. And for those unable to find a free park bench, can someone suggest somewhere reasonably cheap, and well located for crawling back after Matt’s pub crawls?

Its a good point actually. Perhaps someone can suggest somewhere reasonably near, cheap, and decent (those three generally being mutually exclusive in London) and we can try to do a block booking?

The Times today carries a review of the Victoria hotel. However, it is in Richmond (actually, from the postcode, Barnes more like) so not central London—would be a 20-30 min train ride out. Not as far as where I live, but not ideally near.

I like the idea of a block booking (us Scots are particularly good in looking for good deals)
My last but one overnight accom in Edinburgh was a nice B & B 10 mins walk from Princess Street which cost a whopping £25 two years ago.
It’s increasingly likely that I will be attending and looking forward to it.

See here for Li-Kim’s great suggestions and links for where to stay for the conference.

It’s looking more and more like I’m not going to make it because my brother, the selfish git, is getting married on the 20th of September and asked me to be his best man. I can’t see my boss letting me have three weeks off work, even if I could go to a conference.
My folks live in St. Albans, just outside the M25, so it would have been perfect. Ho hum.
I wanna pay my brother back for his terrible timing, maybe I can volunteer him (well, his house) as a hotel. :) I’m sure his boy can sleep in the shed for the weekend. Maybe keep Henry & chicken company?
