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.

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 />

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

In addition to the Olympic events<br />
themselves, from 21 June to 9 September,<br />

Festival, the finale of the Cultural<br />
Olympiad which celebrates the Games<br />
through a series of cultural events.<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 />
Event Planner’s Guide <strong>2012</strong> 7
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 />

The itinerary was to include VIP hospitality<br />
services: a welcome reception at a<br />
unique location, pre-organised tours and<br />
experiences around the host city, a gala<br />
event to take place at a grand venue with<br />
local entertainment, and a ‘dine around’<br />
at top restaurants. In addition to that, a<br />
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was to<br />
be added to signify the special 10th<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 />

including fares and using Oyster on<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
