Keys can be collected at reception, any time on Saturday, you just need to say who you are when you arrive and sign for the key. The delegats booking out on the 16th must leave by 10am, on the other days it doesn't matter what time you book out - you must return keys to reception on departure.
There is a large selection of hotels in London, with many deals available on the internet.
However, availability and prices vary, so you are strongly advised to book as soon as possible. Shopping around can be advantageous as you can sometimes find better deals on line from broker sites than the hotels directly.
For hotels near the campus a selection is available:(this will be updated with more information as this becomes available)
