By Car
It's best to get to SC2010 by public transport. You'd be doing your bit for the environment and perhaps be less stressed from driving on arrival! If you do need to drive, particularly if travelling in a large group, then to get to the hotel follow the signposts to the City and then Tower Bridge. The hotel entrance is in St Katherine's Way, a small side street just east of the bridge itself on the north side of the Thames. If coming from the East (via The Highway) it'll be a left turning just before the one for Tower Bridge itself. If coming from a different direction then it's just past the Tower Bridge turning but you may need to go along The Highway and turn around (where legal) for the easiest access to St. Katherine's Way.
A very limited number of car parking spaces are available. Car parking charges will be settled directly with the hotel. Up-to-date costs will be advised nearer the time. If you would like to request a car parking space please request this on your SC2010 booking form. Requests are subject to capacity and hotel policy.
The good news is that the hotel is just outside the London Congestion Charge zone, which operates for most of the day Monday to Friday. When we say just outside, we mean just outside, so when arriving on Friday, look out for the signs! More information at www.cclondon.com
