Thanks for attending WordCamp London last weekend. We had a blast and we hope you did too! We’d love to hear what you thought about the event. All of your feedback is read by the organising team and helps us to improve for next year.
You can find the survey right here – it should only take five minutes or so to complete and will be a big help to us. Thanks!
WordCamps can be hungry work. Below are the various menus for WordCamp London. If you ordered a very, very specific menu and you don’t see anything below that you can eat, please grab a volunteer at lunch time to take you to the catering people. They have a list of all of the dietary requirements and will ensure that your requirement is available.
We’d love to get some beautiful photos of WordCamp London that we can share on our blog and use in posts and articles about the event afterwards. We’re looking for some volunteer photographers to document the event over the two days. We’ll make these available on the blog after the event, including image credits back to the photographers. If you’re interested, drop us an email at london@wordcamp.org.
Some sponsors sponsor one WordCamp, others sponsor all of them. These are the Global community sponsors, and they provide funding for every WordCamp in Europe. We think that’s pretty great so a huge thanks to all of them!

Just one week until WordCamp London and we are getting pretty excited. We hope that you are too! We’ve got lots of fun in store for you, with three days packed full of WordPress. This post has all of the information that you need ahead of the event, so please read it (you’ll also find it in your email inbox). If you do have any questions for us, send us an email at london@wordcamp.org
If you have signed up for the contributor day, you’ll be receiving and email to confirm your attendance and with all of the finer details. The contributor day will take place at the Graduate Centre. This the building after the main London Met entrance on Holloway Road. Registration starts at 09:30 and the event finishes at 17:00.
Registration on Saturday 21st starts at 8am and will take place at The Rocket Complex on Holloway Road. We’ve got around 600 attendees so it’d help us out if you could get through registration quickly. There will be coffee, tea and morning pastries, and plenty of places where you can hang out before the talks get started.
London Met University is fully accessible but if you do have any specific access requests please let us know in advance. You can email us at london@wordcamp.org. If there’s anything you need throughout the day, grab one of our volunteers, who’ll be wearing bright pink t-shirts.
The easiest way to access the three areas where the conference takes place (the Rocket Complex, the Graduate Centre, and the Henry Thomas Room) is via Holloway Road. Each of the spaces has direct access onto Holloway Road. There is a map on your name badge. The University itself is something of a warren. If you find yourself getting lost, as one of our volunteers where to go.
We have done our best to cater to all dietary requirements. If you have very specific dietary requirements (if you’ve requested gluten free -and- lactose free -and- vegetarian, for example), please grab one of our volunteers at lunch time so that they can ensure you get what you ordered. Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten Free, and Lactose Free diets will be easily available and properly labelled.
Our volunteers will be dressed in gorgeous pink t-shirts. If you need any help, just grab one of them and they’ll do their best to help you out.
The after-party will take place in the Rocket Complex, and kicks off straight after the end of the conference. A full bar is available, and we’re making plans for some fun activities for you to enjoy. We’ll be providing a full dinner with a selection of that English classic: pies, mash, and lots of sides (all of the dietary requirements that you requested when you bought your tickets will be provided). Dinner will be served upstairs at the Rocket between 7:30pm and 9:00pm.
Please keep your name badge with you at all times. If you decide to leave the building you’ll need it to get back in.
The party will end at midnight.
We have a Code of Conduct to ensure that WordCamp London is a safe and welcoming environment for every attendee. If you experience anyone breaking the code of conduct, or see anyone doing so, please tell one of our volunteers.
Big thanks to 1&1 and GoDaddy for being such fabulous WordCamp London sponsors!
A WordCamp wouldn’t be a WordCamp without an amazing and stylish WordCamp t-shirt. We’re pretty chuffed with the designs for this year’s t-shirt: it might look something like what you see right here on the website.
Our printer needs our final t-shirt numbers by the end of the week. So if you want to guarantee your t-shirt size, you need to buy your ticket by Thursday evening at the very latest.
To make sure you both look and feel fabulous, grab your ticket now.
No WordCamp is complete without a social event where everyone can hang out, chat, and have even more fun. WordCamp London is no different. The after-party will take place in the Rocket Complex at London Metropolitan University, which means that you don’t need to go anywhere, since it’s the same venue as the WordCamp!
The party will start straight after the conference ends on Saturday, from 6pm in the bar at the Rocket Complex and will wind down at midnight. We’ll be providing dinner, which will be served at around 7pm. Food will be provided according to the dietary requirements you filled in when you bought your ticket.
