Travel Details:

The hotel is just a 3-minute walk from Hammersmith Underground Station and less than 20-minutes travel from Central London or Heathrow. Hammersmith London Underground station operates on the Hammersmith & City line and Piccadilly line. The Circle line station, Hammersmith Broadway, is just as close and provides step-free access and both these stations are located in Travelcard Zone 2.

 

Car Parking:

Car parking works on a first come, first served basis. Delegates will need to register their car and pay for parking at hotel reception. The cost for this is £7.00, reduced from £14.00. If they do not register their car etc at reception, they may receive a fine from Parking Eye, so it is important that they do this.

The hotel is located just off the A4 and outside the Central London Congestion Zone making driving to and from the hotel very simple, straight forward and cost effective.
