If you look at the London Underground map, you will find 'Holloway Road' station on the 'Piccadilly Line' (dark blue). To get to Holloway Road station you will need to take the east bound piccadilly line, check the destination on the front of the train - either Arnos grove or Cockfosters. Holloway Road station is the second stop from Kings Cross St Pancras. One you come out of the tube station, turn right . You will see a tall building and a funny looking building next to it called 'The Graduate Centre' - the conference venue. Cross the road at the traffic lights and follow directions labelled JICC11.

Once in London you can travel to the conference and hotels using the underground railway (Tube), buses or black cab and private-hire taxis. For convenience and value the Tube is a good method of transport around London. Both Holloway Road tube station, near London Metrolpolitan University, and Russell Square station, near the hotels listed on this web site, are on the Piccadilly Line. This is the dark blue line on the London Underground Railway Map: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/pdfdocs/colormap.pdf

On the streetmap.co.uk web site there is a map showing the University location.
As you can see on this map there is another tube station (shown by this symbol
) at the bottom of Holloway Road called Highbury & Islington, on the Victoria Line (light blue), so if there is any problem with the Piccadilly Line you could use this station instead (it is a good 10 minutes walk from the University though.)
This map shows the location of Arcade Hall accommodation
This map shows the location of Russell Square for the hotels
(A link to the accommodation details is at the bottom of this page.)
