Venue
It seems only fitting that an impressive, modern venue should host a groundbreaking, cutting-edge conference and that's just what we've got at the Waterloo Campus of King's College, part of the University of London.
Situated within the fashionable South Bank in the centre of London, the venue is nearby some of the world's most famous landmarks, such as The Palace of Westminster, Covent Garden and St. Paul's Cathedral.
Getting There
The venue is the Franklin Wilkins Building, King's College, 150 Stamford Street, Waterloo.
London can be easily reached by plane, train or automobile.
Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted airports serve frequent flights into London and have direct rail links into central London.
There are numerous major railway stations in Central London linking the rest of the country. If you're coming by EuroStar, you're in luck - Waterloo International is on the doorstep of the venue.
Once you're in London you can reach the venue by taxi, bus or by the underground. The nearest underground (and over-ground) station is Waterloo, on the Jubilee, Northern and Bakerloo lines, which is a short walk away from the venue.
