You seem to have got yourself sorted, so its all a bit late, maybe. One of the things that I would ask poiltiely is whether you would want to communicate with some of the other non-yaroze members travelling and staying in london, so as to give more of a group feeling and whatever. Im specifically thinking of one of the other people coming from overseas (France). Ive emailed him the info below, but I don't know whether hes done anything about it yet. It might be nice if you all communicated and he could stay at the same place as you, if not the same room! The guy is called Karl Sigiscar, and his email is ksigiscar@in-visio.fr Some addresses and phone numbers for accommodation What follows is a list of accommodation found from various sources. They are either based in central london, or a few are around north london, closer to the location of the course. The information is provided as is; hopefuly everything on here is correct and they would have rooms for the time of the course, but you never know! In most cases the international phone codes are given, but for anyone who isn't sure, you can convert an international number to english by removing the (+44) from the start and replacing it with a (0) and vica versa. If anyone particularly wants me to check about travel for them (ie, although Ive checked most of the sites on a map of london and they look accessible, it doesn't gaurantee bus routes and so on) YOUTH HOSTEL ACCOMMODATION -------------------------- For non YHA / IYHF members you can join at the YHA Adventure Shop, 14 Southampton Street, Covent Garden, WC2 (Tel: 0171 836 1036) @ Covent Garden Tube alcohol and smoking prohibited male/female segregated dormitories advance booking usually required (always in Summer) City of London YH 36 Carter Lane, EC4 Tel: 0171 236 4965 / Fax 0171 236 7681 Opposite St Paul's Cathedral. 4-5 bed dorms. 200 beds.
