The London half of the fifth Mind Sports Olympiad is taking place
at South Bank University. Specifically, it is taking place
in the Facility of the Built Environment building at 202
Wandsworth Road.
We recommend that you stay at the Comfort Inn Vauxhall hotel, which is
less than a kilometre's walk away from the South Bank University
venue; a street map of the
surrounding area is available, courtesy of
streetmap.co.uk.
We have arranged special rates for MSO attendees staying at the
hotel: £52 per night for single occupancy of a room,
£62 per night for double occupancy of a room and
£72 per night for triple occupancy of a room. All prices
include continental breakfast and much more. However, you can
only get this special rate by booking a room through us -
send mail to Tony Corfe or phone 01707
659080 (+44 1707 659080 from outside the UK).
Please remember that in the summer London is a very popular
tourist destination, so the inexpensive accommodation is very
much in demand. We strongly recommend that you book as soon
as possible. You might also want to consider the following:

OTHER ALTERNATIVES
London offers accommodation to suit
every taste and pocket. One of the easiest ways for you
to book your accommodation for the Mind Sports Olympiad
is to use the services of the LTB (London Tourist Board).
You may telephone the LTB on (020) 7932 2020
(or +44 20 7932 2020 if calling from outside the UK).
They are open Monday-Friday from 8:30am to 6:00pm. You
pay them a booking fee of 5 pounds using your Visa or
Mastercard, and you tell them what kind of accommodation
you want, the area of London in which you would like to
stay, and how much you are willing to spend. The LTB will
then find the most suitable accommodation according to
your specifications and availability. If you don't have a
credit card, you can book accommodation on the day of
your arrival in London at any of the tourist information
centres: they're located in Victoria and Liverpool Street
railway stations and in Heathrow Airport Terminal 1,
2 & 3 underground station.
Another way to book is directly with the
hotel or hostel. The site at
www.londontown.com
has a useful listing of places to stay. When deciding
where to stay, the closest neighbourhoods within Central
London, acccording to that site's categorisation system,
is South Bank. Ideally you should stay near an Underground
station on the Northern or Victoria lines; the nearest
Underground station to South Bank University is Stockwell
and we have another page of information about the
Mind Sports
Olympiad venue.
We regret that we cannot help with accommodation enquiries
other than to book our rooms at Vauxhall Comfort Inn.
