Re: Recommended hotels or crash place for LPW 2009?
Thanks everyone for the great suggestions and offers. I've got an offer from a person on this list who can let me stay for the three nights during the conference and decided to stay there. Thank you again. -- Tatsuhiko Miyagawa

I have a spare room in Shepherd's Bush, about 15 minutes from central London. Currently it's packed solid as a warehouse for obsolete computers and antique media but I've been meaning to clear that out for a while now. It'd be nice if the hotel has a good access to the venue, has a free (or decent priced) WiFi and costs around 100 GBP/night. Small rooms are fine. If you can let me stay, the only thing I can't stay with is cats because i'm allergic. The rack rate for my spare room is a decent bottle of something interesting. The only cats are stuffed toys, and the Internet actually works, unlike most hotel offerings. As to Internet access, visitors to LPW might also consider dropping £30 on a 3 dongle which will give you 1GB of mobile Internet access for 30 days. It's not great[0] but it's cheap and better than no Internet. [0] As far as I can tell, it's pretty good when you're actually on 3's 3G network, but if the signal fades and you roam onto Orange's pisspoor GPRS offering, you're stuffed.

Nil points for the assumption that that is where the suggested room is located. £48 ppn for a tiny room in Chalotte Street London Regents Park, London, W1T4RD, furnished, includes wifi. Not too bad for a hacker on a budget.

I thought that too from glancing at the URL, but decided to check the page itself before making a fool of myself in public. Tom

I used to stay here for business all of the time and are fairly inexpensive for their location. They are near Russell Square close to LWP. http://www.grangehotels.com/ I checked and the Clarendon was running about 125 GBP/night

Recommended hotels or crash place for LPW 2009?
Hi, I'm looking for a place to stay for the upcoming London Perl Workshop, can anyone recommend onlist or offlist a good hotel, or actually can let me stay for 3 nights Dec 4-6 (or just partial of them would be helpful too). It'd be nice if the hotel has a good access to the venue, has a free (or decent priced) WiFi and costs around 100 GBP/night. Small rooms are fine. If you can let me stay, the only thing I can't stay with is cats because i'm allergic. Thanks for your help, -- Tatsuhiko Miyagawa
