Housing and Facilities in London
Mile End Campus, Queen Mary College
The seminar will be held in London, one of the world’s most exciting and expensive cities. To provide for affordable housing in a communal university environment, we will stay in dormitory suites at the Mile End Campus of Queen Mary College, University of London. The Mile End Campus is located in east London about a mile east of St. Paul’s Cathedral, with convenient access to the central city by the Underground Tube (station: Mile End).
The price for single rooms with individual bathrooms, clustered in suites sharing a communal kitchen, will be about ₤600 (about $1,000) for the duration of the seminar, an excellent rate for furnished London lodging. Queen Mary will also provide our meeting space. Library and computer facilities with internet access will be available. If you wish to bring your own laptop, wireless connection in your room should be possible.
In order to receive the very attractive rates offered at Mile End, it will be necessary to deduct the lodging costs from your stipend. Participants who wish to arrive in London a day or two early may be able to occupy their lodging on Saturday or Sunday at a reasonable additional cost.
Alternative Lodging
Private accommodations outside the university are likely to be difficult to locate, much more expensive, and less conveniently located. We therefore strongly encourage participants to plan to come without family members.
