Accommodation
Conference delegates must arrange their own accommodation. There is a large selection of hotels in the central London neighbourhood of Bloomsbury, where the conference venue is located. Here, we are recommending a number of hotels, bed and breakfasts, university halls of residence (or dorms), and youth hostels.
Important Note: July is one of London’s busiest tourist and business periods. It is important, therefore, that you book your accommodation as early as possible. This is particularly important for people who wish to stay in university halls, as these are often booked up early.
| Conference Hotel |
The conference hotel is the Royal National on Bedford Way. It is located directly opposite the Institute of Education, which is the conference venue. All rooms are en suite with satellite TV, radio and tea/coffee making facilities. Computer points and hairdryers are available on request. Facilities include a Chinese restaurant, coffee shop, traditional pub, gift shops, internet kiosks and a bureau de change. There is also an underground (pay) car park.
Room rates (inclusive of VAT):
- £66 for a single (i.e., one person in a room)
- £85 for a twin (i.e., two people in a room)
- £103 for a triple (i.e., a double room with an extra bed)
- £121 for a quad (i.e., a triple room with an extra bed)

Those delegates who identify themselves as attending the Second World Conference on ACT, RFT, and Contextual Behavioural Science at the time of booking and who stay for 7 consecutive nights will pay for only six. In order to avail yourselves of this special conference offer, delegates must prepay in full, by credit card, at the time of booking. This booking cannot then be amended or cancelled.

| Student Halls of Residence |
There are a large number of university and college halls (or dorms) in central London. There are two, in particular, that we would recommend most highly, owing to their location to the conference venue in Bloomsbury. They are, in rank order:
- Campbell House East, 5 – 10 Taviton Street, London WC1H 0BX
Tel: +44 (0)20 7679 1479; Fax: +44 (0)20 7388 0060. Prices from £22.00 per person, per night for a single and £43.00 for a twin (i.e., two people per room). - Ifor Evans Hall, 109 Camden Road, London NW1 9HZ.
Tel: +44 (0)20 7485 9377; Fax: +44 (0)20 7284 3328. Single rooms start from £21.50 per night self catered, or £26.50 per night bed and breakfast
Information and booking details for these two halls can be accessed from the following webpage: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/residences/
We cannot recommend more strongly the need to book halls of residence at your earliest possible convenience.
| Additional Student Halls of Residence |
Individual or group bookings of 20 people or more can be made at many of the following halls. They are all very central and within a short walking distance or tube journey of the Institute of Education, the conference venue.
It is recommended that you telephone or email residences that you are interested in to check availability and make a provisional booking, and to then print off a booking form and send it in with your deposit.
- The university of London Intercollegiate halls of residence (From £23 per night)
There are several very central halls, which let accommodation to visiting groups or individual students. The individual halls must be contacted directly for bookings.
- Kings College London (From £21 -£25 per night) Tel: Stopover on +44 (0)207 848 1700
Individual or group bookings can be made at these halls. Whilst they are slightly further out than the University of London halls, they are very accessible by tube and bus and involve a journey of around 15-20 minutes.
- University of Westminster (From £19.50 per night) Tel: Commercial Services Summer Accommodation on +44 (0)207 911 5181
Individual or group bookings can be made at these halls. Once again these may be slightly further out than University of London halls but are nevertheless very accessible.
NB: Many more London Universities provide low budget summer accommodation for students but these may not be as central as the universities specified above. To view these options please click the following link.
| Youth Hostels (£11.50 - £17 depending on room type) |
There are many independent youth hostels in central London and these generally have to be accessed through booking websites such as:
Some very central hostels that come highly recommended are The Camden Inn and The Generator; others can be found on the above websites. If price is the main concern then these will undoubtedly be your cheapest bet, but be aware that if you book into these hostels, you will generally be booking a bed in a shared dormitory.
