Last year, WordCamp London’s 2015 organisers created a comprehensive list of hotels within a walking distance or tube ride away from the venue.
We’ve republished it here for you and hope it’s just as helpful this time – but don’t thank us, thank them!
Please note that the hotels are in no particular order and the travel time shown is based on Google Maps calculations.
