James Yuen 1258430 Posted April 30, 2017 at 09:42 AM Posted April 30, 2017 at 09:42 AM Haven't fully booked my tickets but I do anticipate in going this year! Thankfully, Holborn is commuting distance from home so no hotel needed * For those requiring accommodation in London, I have a (up to) 30% discount on many hotels listed in Central London, so feel free to get in touch. In addition, hotels could get cheaper a few days before the event. If anyone wants more info, get in touch but it's too much to put in one post.
