London, one of the most colourful and sophisticated capitals in the world, has long been a popular choice for international conferences. Its historic sites such as Buckingham Palace, The Tower of London and The Houses of Parliament are justly famous and have been complemented by the new London Eye which provides breathtaking views of the city. With fashionable and exciting shops in Knightsbridge, the unrivalled theatres of the West End and world famous art galleries and museums, London is everything a capital city should be. The internationally acclaimed hotels and restaurants and its beautiful Royal Parks, combine to make staying in London a luxurious experience. Communications are excellent too - Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton airports, numerous mainline railway stations, the London Underground and the proximity of the Channel Tunnel together provide a worldwide travel network.
The symposium will be held in the Hilton London Metropole, a 4 star hotel, and the perfect venue for this type of conference.The hotel is just 20 minutes from Heathrow Airport by the new Heathrow Express rail service and only 10 minutes walk from Oxford Street. The hotel has two bars and great restaurants including Aspects, London’s highest rooftop restaurant. All this together with the excellent leisure facilities makes this the ideal venue.
