This page gives a list of London hotels in the Natural Environment Research Council `recommended list' as of July 1996. NERC employees can book at these hotels at `government rate'. For other people attending the Royal Society Town Meeting, the hotels may or may not accept a booking at the lower rate, but the meeting is organised by NERC and it is worth trying.

This list contains hotel name, address; then phone and fax number; then normal rate and NERC rate in pounds. You should be able to get a map of London from a travel agent which will show the areas (e.g. South West 7 for the Adelphi). None of these hotels is far from tube stations.

We have printed versions of this list which contain extra information, e.g. nearest tube station, car parking and chain the hotel belongs to. That can be posted if you email plw@pol.ac.uk.
