BIT Live 2007 - accommodation, travel and logistics

Post by Chris Abbott »

Anyone want to sort things out quickly:

http://www.astorhostels.com/

Get booking before the masses do :)

(only 35 and unders though: ironically that's never been a problem before, but it is now!!)

Seth and entourage will be at the Hyde Park hotel: that's quite a good one since it's near to the Central Line.

Also, there are some two beds at Hyde Park, Kensington and Leinster (Kensington even has an ensuite!).

As I said in a previous thread, entry is by guestlist, but a PDF will be sent out by email in the next couple of months for posterity. "Ticket" purchase on the site guarantees entry, and there's strictly 200 "tickets" available.

I think it's 1am. Not 100% sure, but I think that's it.

Just checked out something: there's a Travelodge near the venue and Liverpool Street station, and it's currently £26 for the Friday night. I should know, cos I've just booked there myself.

Even better it's 400 yards walk to the venue, so that might be well worth checking out if you don't want to face rip off taxi fares..

And it's easily findable, near Liverpool Street station on the tube, or 205 bus from Euston, St Pancras or Kings' Cross...

Though: word of warning, Travelodge have a policy of overbooking: so if you don't get there early, you don't get a room (even if your booking claims it's guaranteed). Just be an early bird and arrive at 3pm and you'll be fine :)

Waz thanks for the info, I've just booked our rooms at £26 per room :wink:
Great :)

Here's a direct link for anyone else wanting to book.

Nice one, glad someone found that useful. Like Chris said, get there early to be on the safe side! :)

Paul: if you're taking the train from Manchester remember to book early on Virgin for cheap fares. That's what I'm gonna do - I'll see you there no doubt!

All the £26 rooms at London Liverpool Street Travelodge have been booked. They're now £49. Still not bad, but get them while you can before the price hits the normal £95.

Travelodges are quite invaluable at times... I swear by them myself. This is the first time I've attended a C64 event and not had to worry about booking a place to stay... nor do I have to worry about an unfamilar transport system >_>
