Welcome<br />

to <strong>London</strong><br />

As <strong>London</strong> looks forward to joining the<br />

ranks of Sydney, Athens and Beijing as<br />

a 21st-century Olympic Games and<br />

Paralympic Games host city, there<br />

has never been a better time to bring<br />

conference and events business into<br />

the UK capital. With more than 1,000<br />

truly unique venues, an £11 billion<br />

investment in citywide projects directly<br />

benifiting business visitors, and a culture<br />

rich in diversity, heritage and culinary<br />

delights, <strong>London</strong> offers once-in-a-lifetime<br />

experiences that can’t be found anywhere<br />

else in the world.<br />

4 londonandpartners.com/convention-bureau<br />

<strong>London</strong> has long been a worldclass<br />

business destination offering<br />

exceptional return on investment. It’s<br />

a vibrant and multicultural city that’s easy to<br />

meet in and impossible to forget.<br />

There are more than 40,000 shops,<br />

including Europe’s largest retail complex<br />

Westfield, currently open in the west with<br />

a second just opened in the east, housing<br />

more than 300 retail brands.<br />

<strong>London</strong> has 48 Michelin-starred<br />

restaurants, more than 6,000 restaurants<br />

offering menus from 70 major country<br />

cuisines, 300 museums and galleries<br />

(17 of which offer free entry), 150 theatres,<br />

147 parks, more than 10,000 bars and<br />

clubs and four World Heritage Sites<br />

(Tower of <strong>London</strong>, Royal Botanic Gardens<br />

Kew, Maritime Greenwich and Houses of<br />

Parliament/The Palace of Westminster).<br />

As the excitement around ‘the greatest<br />

show on earth’ builds, the ‘halo effect’ of<br />

the Games has seen new hotels spring<br />

up, transport infrastructure grow and<br />

regeneration take place across East <strong>London</strong><br />

and beyond. <strong>London</strong> has never looked better,<br />

or offered such a variety of experiences to<br />

visitors and event planners alike.


Grand old spaces and<br />

brand-new places<br />

During the past two years, hoteliers have<br />

viewed <strong>London</strong> as the European city for<br />

new openings.<br />

St Pancras Station is now home to a<br />

Victorian masterpiece restored – the fivestar,<br />

£150 million Renaissance Marriott<br />

Hotel, offering 244 rooms alongside the<br />

Eurostar terminal. The Strand has seen<br />

the return of its luxury landmark property,<br />

the Savoy Hotel, following a £200 million<br />

refurbishment, and the five-star 294-room<br />

Corinthia property has opened in Whitehall<br />

Place, just a short walk from world-class<br />

cultural institutions such as the National<br />

Gallery and Royal Opera House.<br />

In the West End, Starwood has opened its<br />

first UK W Hotel in Leicester Square,<br />

while Waldorf Astoria Hotels has introduced<br />

<strong>London</strong> Syon Park, set in the 200-acre<br />

estate belonging to the Duke and Duchess<br />

of Northumberland. Westminster is also<br />

seeing some changes, as St Ermin’s<br />

Hotel experienced a rejuvenation earlier<br />

this year and <strong>2012</strong> will see the opening of<br />

the brand-new InterContinental <strong>London</strong><br />

Westminster, set in a former Treasury<br />

building. Luxury hotel brand the Dorchester<br />

Collection recently opened its eighth<br />

property. 45 Park Lane offers 45 rooms<br />

plus a large penthouse, just yards away<br />

from The Dorchester, while Starwood<br />

Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, together with<br />

its new destination brand Aloft Hotels, are<br />

due to open the Aloft <strong>London</strong> ExCeL<br />

before the end of 2011. The hotel will<br />

offer 252 rooms next to the UK capital’s<br />

International Convention Centre and<br />

Olympic host venue.<br />

During Olympic year the luxury<br />

accommodation market will further<br />

be extended with the opening of The<br />

Wellesley, a 36-suite townhouse<br />

property in <strong>London</strong>’s Knightsbridge<br />

district. The Rezidor Hotel Group has<br />

also announced plans to build a Park<br />

Inn-branded 223-room hotel near<br />

ExCeL <strong>London</strong>.<br />

In addition, nearby, Premier Inn has<br />

opened its <strong>London</strong> Greenwich property,<br />

located just three miles from <strong>London</strong> City<br />

Airport, and is on the verge of opening<br />

a 267-room budget hotel as part of the<br />

new Westfield Stratford retail complex,<br />

adjacent to the Olympic Stadium. The £25<br />

million development will offer its guests a<br />

prime location for the Games. Holiday Inn<br />

is also expanding in the East, with two new<br />

hotels planned for <strong>2012</strong>.<br />

Feeding the demand for budget<br />

accommodation in the centre of the UK<br />

capital, <strong>London</strong>’s historic Trocadero will<br />

open a Tokyo style pod hotel in Piccadilly<br />

during <strong>2012</strong>. Following the redevelopment,<br />

only the Grade II-listed facade will remain,<br />

and behind this 350-year-old frontage will<br />

be a 495-room hotel.<br />

What’s new at <strong>London</strong>’s<br />

attractions<br />

On the South Bank, the EDF Energy<br />

<strong>London</strong> Eye has been upgrading one<br />

pod at a time over a three-year period<br />

with all capsules due to be refurbished by<br />

early <strong>2012</strong>.<br />

Greenwich meanwhile will play host to<br />

a number of key openings. The Cutty<br />

Sark, one of only three remaining<br />

clipper ships from the 19th century,<br />

has been fully restored following fire<br />

damage and will reopen to the public<br />

in <strong>2012</strong>.<br />

Just around the corner, the Sammy Ofer<br />

Wing is being built as an extension to<br />

the Greenwich Maritime Museum. The<br />

wing will also open in <strong>2012</strong> and is named<br />

after an international shipping magnate<br />

and philanthropist who gifted £20 million<br />

towards the project.<br />

The celebrations will continue<br />

throughout <strong>2012</strong> – plan your event<br />

around one of the many landmark events<br />

coming to the capital throughout the<br />

year. 60 years of the Queen’s reign will<br />

be marked with the Diamond Jubilee<br />

in June, when Buckingham Palace<br />

will coordinate a four-day celebration<br />

including a thousand-strong flotilla down<br />

the Thames. <strong>London</strong>’s literary heritage<br />

will also be celebrated as Dickens <strong>2012</strong><br />

features a year-long programme of<br />

national and international celebrations<br />

to mark the bicentenary of the birth<br />

of Charles Dickens, while the World<br />

Shakespeare Festival will showcase<br />

an extraordinary and unprecedented<br />

collaboration of production companies<br />

from all over the globe.


Gothic splendour:<br />

St Pancras Renaissance<br />

Hotel <strong>London</strong><br />

Travel in <strong>London</strong> just got easier<br />

An investment of £20 billion is upgrading<br />

the <strong>London</strong> Underground system, making<br />

it one of the safest and most efficient<br />

city-centre transport systems in the world<br />

in time for the Games. Improved transport<br />

links to the key Olympic sites include an<br />

East <strong>London</strong> line extension, upgrades to<br />

the existing Docklands Light Railway<br />

(DLR), and a 225kmh high-speed Javelin<br />

service to take spectators from St Pancras<br />

to the Olympic Park at Stratford in East<br />

<strong>London</strong> in just seven minutes. Added to<br />

this, the redevelopment at King’s Cross<br />

Central and St Pancras will completely<br />

regenerate the area, allowing for more<br />

hotels, homes and public space.<br />

Crossrail, a major rail connection across<br />

the capital starting from Heathrow Airport<br />

has also been given the go-ahead, with<br />

completion expected in 2015.<br />

The <strong>London</strong> <strong>2012</strong> Olympic and<br />

Paralympic Games<br />

The world’s eyes will be on <strong>London</strong> as the<br />

<strong>2012</strong> Olympic Games and Paralympic<br />

Games arrive in the capital. This oncein-a-lifetime<br />

event marks the culmination<br />

of years of preparation, construction and<br />

investment, to be enjoyed by <strong>London</strong> and<br />

the rest of the world.<br />

To make sure you have all the information<br />

you need about coming to <strong>London</strong> during<br />

Games time, visit the ‘essential information’<br />

page at visitlondon.com/<strong>2012</strong> where<br />

you’ll find a host of information on<br />

accommodation, transport, tickets and<br />

Games-time activity.<br />

opportunity. See londonandpartners.<br />

com/london-<strong>2012</strong><br />

In addition to the Olympic events<br />

themselves, from 21 June to 9 September,<br />

visitors can enjoy the <strong>London</strong> <strong>2012</strong><br />

Festival, the finale of the Cultural<br />

Olympiad which celebrates the Games<br />

through a series of cultural events.<br />

Games please go to the official site,<br />

A legacy for the capital<br />

The <strong>2012</strong> Games will use a mixture of<br />

newly built venues, existing facilities,<br />

and temporary facilities, some of them in<br />

well-known locations such as Hyde Park,<br />

Greenwich Park and Horse Guards<br />

Parade. Much of the focus however will be<br />

on the Olympic Park, located within the<br />

Map of Games Venues in <strong>London</strong><br />

Lower Lea Valley in East <strong>London</strong>, where up<br />

to 180,000 spectators a day will gather. A<br />

lasting legacy for this regeneration area is a<br />

top priority, and something that will benefit<br />

residents, visitors and event planners in<br />

years to come.<br />

Within the Park, there are five main venues<br />

including an 80,000-seat Olympic Stadium,<br />

a cycling VeloPark, an Aquatics Centre, a<br />

Basketball Arena and a Handball Arena.<br />

After the greatest show on earth has left<br />

town, the area will be transformed into one<br />

of the largest urban parks created in Europe<br />

for more than 150 years and feature the<br />

ArcelorMittal Orbit Tower (designed by<br />

Anish Kapoor), which will be the largest<br />

public work of art in the UK. The park will<br />

be designed to enrich the local ecology<br />

by restoring wetland habitats and planting<br />

native species, while the sports facilities will<br />

be made open for use by local sports clubs.<br />

The canals and waterways of the River<br />

Lea will be cleaned and widened, paving<br />

the way for a new waterway bus route<br />

transporting passengers to the Olympic<br />

Park, while the Athletes’ Village will be<br />

converted into 3,600 apartments in the<br />

Stratford City development and the<br />

Media Centre will evolve into a new<br />

business hub.<br />

The greenest Games ever<br />

<strong>London</strong> <strong>2012</strong> is aiming to be the most<br />

sustainable Games ever, and with over<br />

one third of the capital comprised of parks<br />

and green spaces, the city already tops<br />

the list of greenest big cities on earth. For<br />

event organisers looking for a host city that<br />

is focused on reducing its impact on the<br />

environment, <strong>London</strong> is an obvious choice.<br />

Hundreds of <strong>London</strong> venues and suppliers<br />

with environmental policies are available,<br />

as well as infrastructure built to operate in<br />

a greener, more sustainable way. Initiatives<br />

such as the Mayor of <strong>London</strong>’s Climate<br />

Change Action Plan, the Central<br />

<strong>London</strong> Congestion Charging Zone, the<br />

recently launched Low Emission Zone,<br />

and the Green Tourism for <strong>London</strong><br />

accreditation scheme illustrate the city’s<br />

forward-thinking green credentials.<br />

Added to this, development of the Green<br />

Enterprise Centre in East <strong>London</strong> will see<br />

the city remain at the forefront of urban<br />

sustainability research and best practice.<br />

Underpinning <strong>London</strong>’s commitment<br />

to green practices is the UK National<br />

Standards Agency’s BS8901, a set<br />

of requirements for the events industry<br />

that provides a framework for companies<br />

to reduce carbon emissions and<br />

waste, improve efficiency, reduce<br />

environmental impacts and provide<br />

positive social impacts.<br />

2010, <strong>London</strong> & <strong>Partners</strong> introduced<br />

Luminous to suppliers and venues that<br />

would later become key players in the<br />

programme, including hospitality providers,<br />

a local DMC, and guest hotels The<br />

Langham and The Landmark.<br />

The event kicked off with a half-day<br />

business session and ‘dine around’ at<br />

10 of <strong>London</strong>’s top restaurants and<br />

hotels. The visit was also organised<br />

to coincide with Wimbledon 2011, and<br />

on day 2 the group enjoyed a full-day<br />

VIP hospitality programme at the<br />

tennis tournament.<br />

The final day included a <strong>London</strong> treasure<br />

hunt with time to explore the city’s<br />

world-famous shopping outlets, followed<br />

by a river cruise to the gala dinner<br />

destination, the Old Royal Naval College<br />

in Greenwich, where the guests were<br />

treated to performances by West End<br />

theatre performers.<br />

Why <strong>London</strong>?<br />

<strong>London</strong> was the ideal destination for<br />

the event, providing a combination of<br />

world class hotels and restaurants,<br />

entertainment and professional event<br />

services. Wimbledon provided an iconic<br />

<strong>London</strong> experience to theme the tour<br />

around, as well as access to special guests<br />

and 5-star hospitality that would ensure<br />

the guests truly felt the VIP treatment.<br />

“<strong>London</strong> & <strong>Partners</strong>’ ability to provide<br />

professional support from the<br />

programme’s inception was extremely<br />

helpful, open and honest. It was invaluable<br />

having them as an on-the-ground resource<br />

to answer questions of any nature.”<br />

is licensed, call +44 (0)845 602 7000 or<br />

tickets to travel<br />

Single fares are available for any journey<br />

at ticket machines; however, it’s almost<br />

always cheaper to get an Oyster card. Your<br />

clients can also purchase single tickets and<br />

Travelcards in advance at groundline.com<br />

or tssorders@hp.com<br />

oyster cards<br />

The Oyster card is <strong>London</strong>’s travel smartcard<br />

and is the easiest and cheapest way to pay<br />

to travel around <strong>London</strong>, whether your clients<br />

are using Tube, bus, tram, DLR, <strong>London</strong><br />

Overground or National Rail services.<br />

ticket types<br />

Oyster can store season tickets (Travelcards)<br />

as well as credit for single journeys (pay as<br />

you go), and cards are reusable. When<br />

a Travelcard expires, or the pay as you go<br />

credit is getting low, your clients can add<br />

another Travelcard or more credit at over<br />

4,000 outlets in <strong>London</strong>.<br />

With pay as you go, your clients can travel<br />

as many times as they like in a day and the<br />

daily price cap means that they will never pay<br />

more than the price of a One Day Travelcard.<br />

where to buy<br />

Your clients can save time by buying an<br />

Oyster card before they arrive in <strong>London</strong> at<br />

visitlondon.com/oyster or get one when<br />

they arrive from Tube or selected National<br />

Rail stations. To pre-purchase Oyster cards<br />

for groups of more than 50 delegates, contact<br />

<strong>London</strong> & <strong>Partners</strong> at eventsolutions@<br />

londonandpartners.com. Please allow<br />

at least two months between request and<br />

delegates arriving in <strong>London</strong>.<br />

using oyster<br />

To ensure they pay the correct fare on Tube,<br />

DLR, <strong>London</strong> Overground and National Rail<br />

services, your clients must always touch in on<br />

the yellow reader at the start of their journey<br />

and touch out at the end. On buses and trams<br />

they only need to touch in at the start.<br />

Green <strong>London</strong><br />

The most environmentally friendly way to<br />

travel around the city is on foot or by bike. In<br />

the past few years, millions of pounds have<br />

been invested in cycling in the city, and the<br />

Barclays Cycle Hire scheme lets you hire<br />

a bike within central <strong>London</strong>. For more details<br />

see tfl.gov.uk/cycling<br />

Walking is also a great way to see <strong>London</strong>,<br />

and 109 journeys between neighbouring<br />

central <strong>London</strong> Underground stations are<br />

actually quicker on foot than the Tube!<br />

It’s also a good idea to offset the carbon<br />

emissions created by a flight here. For more<br />

ideas on travelling green, go to<br />

to enter Britain. If you are from any<br />

other country, find out about visa<br />

requirements before you travel.<br />

ukvisas.gov.uk<br />

Tipping<br />

There are no fixed rules, but it is normal<br />

to leave a tip of 10 per cent for good<br />

service in restaurants; sometimes this is<br />

automatically included in the bill.<br />

Taxi drivers may also expect a tip.<br />

Communications<br />

The minimum amount for a call at a<br />

public payphone is usually 60p, but some<br />

take phonecards, credit cards and euros.<br />

Internet access is available at some hotels,<br />

internet cafés and some phone booths.<br />

Health<br />

Some medicines are available over<br />

the counter from pharmacists – Boots is<br />

the biggest chain. For medical advice, try<br />

NHS Direct.<br />

T: 0845 4647 (24-hour within the UK)<br />

nhsdirect.nhs.uk<br />

Reciprocal arrangements with the UK<br />

allow residents of some countries to<br />

receive free emergency medical treatment.<br />

Most doctors’ surgeries have a daily<br />

drop-in hour, or go to the Accident and<br />

Emergency department at a hospital for<br />

emergency treatment.<br />

Emergencies<br />

As in all major cities, visitors should be<br />

aware of their personal safety. To avoid<br />

pick-pocketing, keep bags closed and<br />

never leave bags unattended. For serious<br />

emergencies, call the police, fire or<br />

ambulance services on 999 or 112.


Accessibility<br />

information<br />

In recent years <strong>London</strong> has become more<br />

accessible, with most buses and black<br />

cabs now adapted for wheelchair use.<br />

Our attractions welcome disabled visitors<br />

and the city now offers more than 1,000<br />

hotel rooms that are suitable for wheelchair<br />

users. These hotels have been audited for<br />

access by Direct Enquiries Ltd and are<br />

Event Planner’s Guide <strong>2012</strong> 23


Key information<br />

Get the most out of this guide’s listings to create a truly successful<br />

event for any occasion<br />

At <strong>London</strong> & <strong>Partners</strong> we have<br />

many partners who work with<br />

us to make your experience of<br />

<strong>London</strong> unique and inspiring. We<br />

have listed them here in four colour-coded<br />

categories: Exhibition Centres, Hotels,<br />

Meeting Venues and Event Services<br />

(please note: a list of newly joined partners<br />

can be found at londonandpartners.com/<br />

cvb/addendum).<br />

Most entries contain symbols showing<br />

available facilities (see key opposite),<br />

and a map reference to help you locate<br />

the venue (see maps page 123).<br />

Alternatively, talk to one of our experts –<br />

contact our Event Solutions team now<br />

(see page 10 for contact details) or visit<br />

our online venue finding service at<br />

Accessibility info<br />

In this guide, hotels displaying the<br />

accessiblity symbol shown below have<br />

been thoroughly assessed by Direct<br />

Enquiries Ltd against relevant criteria<br />

and are committed to accessibility. Please<br />

note, however, that other establishments<br />

may also have disabled access but may<br />

not have sought a formal assessment. Full<br />

details of hotels offering accessible rooms<br />

suitable for wheelchair users travelling<br />

independently can be found at visitlondon.<br />

com/access and inclusivelondon.com<br />

If your clients have additional needs<br />

or specific requirements, we strongly<br />

recommend that you ensure these can<br />

be met by the chosen establishment<br />

before you confirm your client’s booking.<br />

Quality assurance<br />

& star ratings<br />

Look for the star rating throughout<br />

this guide – this is the official mark of<br />

quality, awarded to accommodation by<br />

VisitEngland and the AA.<br />

Stars are awarded following annual<br />

assessments by trained, impartial<br />

assessors. Annual visits are made,<br />

and in the case of hotels and guest<br />

accommodation, this involves a ‘mystery<br />

shop’ overnight stay at least every<br />

other year to thoroughly check out the<br />

service, hospitality, food and cleanliness<br />

as well as the standard and comfort of<br />

the accommodation. All participating<br />

establishments are awarded between one<br />

and five stars. The more stars, the higher<br />

the quality and range of services and<br />

facilities provided.<br />

Some properties have been assessed to<br />

ensure they meet minimum standards of<br />

cleanliness and maintenance, but are not<br />

scored for quality, so no star ratings are<br />

awarded, eg hotel chains such as Hilton<br />

Hotels. Some properties were awaiting a<br />

quality assessment grading at the time of<br />

going to print.<br />

Gold and Silver awards<br />

VisitEngland recognises the top scoring<br />

properties at all star ratings by awarding<br />

Silver and Gold awards. These are for<br />

B&Bs, hotels, self-catering accommodation<br />

and serviced apartments that are the ‘best<br />

of the best’.<br />

For full details of VisitEngland’s<br />

assessment schemes, see<br />

Green Tourism for<br />

<strong>London</strong> scheme<br />

Green Tourism for <strong>London</strong> is an<br />

independently audited green accreditation<br />

scheme for <strong>London</strong>’s tourism businesses.<br />

The scheme has three main aims: to help<br />

businesses improve their resource and<br />

energy management, to improve business<br />

efficiency and to help visitors assess<br />

the true green credentials of businesses<br />

before booking, by giving companies a<br />

Bronze, Silver or Gold award.<br />

The awards, which are only made after<br />

businesses receive help from advisers<br />

and a visit from an independent assessor,<br />

recognise businesses that are operating in<br />

a sustainable manner, as well as actively<br />

promoting public transport, local cultural<br />

activities and <strong>London</strong>’s open spaces.<br />

The scheme is being run by Green<br />

Business UK and has been adapted for<br />

<strong>London</strong> from the successful national<br />

Green Tourism Business Scheme (GTBS).<br />

If a business listing in this guide displays<br />

one of the Green Tourism for <strong>London</strong><br />

logos below, it means they have applied<br />

for accreditation. For more details on the<br />

green credentials of these businesses and<br />

the awards they have earned please see<br />

green-business.co.uk<br />

Theatre style Cabaret style<br />

U-shape style<br />

Seating layouts<br />

There are several ways in which a room<br />

may be set up for a meeting – the most<br />

usual being for delegates to be seated<br />

theatre-style. Formal meetings or those<br />

requiring delegates to take notes may,<br />

however, require the seating to be around<br />

a hollow square, boardroom, U-shape or<br />

schoolroom/classroom style. The usual<br />

seating for dinners, banquets or lunches<br />

would be at round tables for 8, 10 or<br />

12 people, with or without a top table,<br />

or at a top table with sprigs. For a buffet/<br />

reception, numbers would correspond<br />

with those given for theatre-style seating.<br />
