CONFERENCE SITE LOCATION AND TRAVEL

Conference Site:  The conference will be held at the University of Notre Dame London Centre, located at 1 Suffolk Street in the heart of London.  Situated on the north-west corner of Trafalgar Square, the building is adjacent to the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery, and on the edge of London’s West End theatreland.  Buckingham Palace and Downing Street are only ten minutes walk to the west.  Legal London is the same distance to the east.   Public open spaces such as St James’s Park, Waterloo Gardens, Embankment Gardens, and the River Thames are less than five minutes walk away while King’s College, the London School of Economics, and other departments and colleges of the University of London are just along the Strand. The area is well provided for in terms of bookshops, pharmacies, and a wide range of eating establishments.  London’s half-price theatre ticket booth is located right around the corner in Leicester Square.  The building is very well placed for public transport facilities.  Charing Cross Mainline and Underground Stations are three minutes away, with connections to the Jubilee, Bakerloo and Northern lines.  Leicester Square Underground Station, with connections to the Picadilly and Northern lines, is equally close.  Many bus routes pass through Trafalgar Square.  To reach the building’s main entrance, walk west from the National Gallery and turn right into Suffolk Street (click on link to the left for Conference Site Map).
