| 11 | + <h1>Venue information</h1> |
| 12 | + <p>The conference will take place at City St George's, University of |
| 13 | + London, Northampton Square, EC1V 0HB. </p> |
| 14 | + <p>We will be using various rooms in several buildings of the campus, |
| 15 | + but all of them connect, so we recommend you always use the main |
| 16 | + entrance on the square itself. The conference registration will |
| 17 | + be in the atrium.</p> |
| 18 | + <p>Teas and coffees will be provided on Tuesday-Friday, and vegetarian |
| 19 | + and vegan sandwich lunch on Wednesday and Thursday. For other days, |
| 20 | + there is a canteen on the first floor, but also many nearby lunch |
| 21 | + options including a large variety of places in Exmouth Market. |
| 22 | + </p> |
| 23 | + <h2>Finding your rooms</h2> |
| 24 | + <p>Helpers and organisers will be on hand to get you to your rooms, and |
| 25 | + there is also a dedicated navigation app called <a href=" |
| 26 | +https://studenthub.citystgeorges.ac.uk/student-support-services/it-services/citynav">CityNav</a>. |
| 27 | + Below is a list of conference rooms and how to get there from the big |
| 28 | + staircases in the main entrance (near the big 'CITY' sign). |

| 42 | + Turn left and head down the corridor, following the line labelled |
| 43 | + 'Tait building'. When you reach a wide area with a chess set, head up |
| 44 | + the stairs that are on your right. You need to go up two more floors. |

| 46 | + </details> |
| 47 | + <details> |
| 48 | + <summary>ELG04</summary> |

| 52 | + </details> |
| 53 | + <details> |
| 54 | + <summary>B200</summary> |
