Finding Accommodation in London

London is the UK’s vibrant capital city, popular for its rich history, culture, and architecture. While there are many accommodation options available, it would still be wise to start your search and book early in order to find the best option for you.

The address of the main conference venue is: SOAS University of London, 10 Thornhaugh St, London WC1H 0XG, UK.

As the conference is taking place in central London during the Easter school holidays, we were unfortunately unable to secure any discounts. The list provided below includes some suggestions, especially if you find browsing for accommodation online overwhelming, but does not come through personal recommendations or experience.

We recommend using different online booking portals and search engines to find the most suitable accommodation for you.

Suggested hotels and hostels for ASA2023 participants
