RBW 2010: Space cowboys. 5th-7th November 2010. Canary Wharf, London UK

The Britannia International Hotel

“Much as we might like to, ’fraid we ain’t got the shuttles nor the fuel to come and pick y’all up from ya respective dwellings. Still it’s not all bad, at least y’all wont have to listen to Blake’s god-awful music all the way there an’ back.”

Located in the heart of London's Docklands, this well-appointed and maintained hotel has rooms overlooking the Thames, with fantastic views of Canary Wharf from the river-side bar.

The conferencing facilities are very well maintained and spacious, with a lobby bar area just outside the primary function room which will host the main stage. The Dealers' Den will be hosted in a room just off this lobby bar. Several smaller rooms have also been secured to host events requiring a more intimate venue and, of course, the de-humidified Headless Lounge will return for the use of those suiters amongst you.

Other facilities include two on-site restaurants, a dedicated nightclub/bar that we will have exclusive use of for the Friday night festivities, a swimming pool and the aforementioned river-side bar.

The Britannia has 442 double rooms available this year. Let's fill as many of them as we can!

Booking a room
