Accommodation

We kindly ask participants to arrange their own accommodation. Here are some recommendations:

  • On-campus and Coventry

    • For attendees wanting to stay on-campus or Coventry, we recommend booking accommodation in the conference centres, Scarman and Radcliffe.

    • See the On-Campus Facilities section below for details on campus amenities, which are easily accessible from Scarman and Radcliffe.
    • Coventry’s closest areas to Campus are Canley (20 min walk to campus) and Earlsdon (15 minutes with the bus, line 11).

    • There are many nice restaurants in the city center area, which also operate on food delivery apps. Recommendations include Hello Vietnam (Vietnamese), Shin (Japanese), Gorety (Portuguese cafe), Tian (Chinese). There are also different pubs throughout the city. A particularly beautiful one in the city center is The Old Wildmill.

  • Kenilworth

    • In Kenilworth there are a couple of good options for accommodation: Holiday Inn Kenilworth and Abbeyfield.

    • The most convenient bus stops for getting to campus are:

      • Holiday Inn (Stand C) (bus 11), if you are staying at Holiday Inn Kenilworth; and

      • Abbey Fields, Bridge Street (bus 11), if you are staying at Abbeyfield.

    • The main attraction is Kenilworth Castle, an impressive medieval fortress and former Elizabethan palace set in extensive grounds; it is well worth a visit, and booking tickets in advance is recommended.

    • There are a lot of good restaurants in Kenilworth: The Cross (Michelin-starred, British, higher price point), Harringtons on the hill (Bistro), Queen & castle (pub-restaurant).

  • Leamington Spa

    • In Leamington, two especially good options for accommodation are: The Angel and The Lansdowne. Both are centrally located and within easy walking distance of the main bus stops to campus (Regent Street and Upper Parade).

    • The most convenient bus stops for getting to campus are Regent Street (buses U1, U2, 11) and Upper Parade (Stand F) (buses U1, U2, 11). These buses run to the University of Warwick campus, and they take 20-25 minutes.

    • There is a lovely riverside walk linking Leamington Spa to the town of Warwick and its castle, a site of major historical significance in the UK and well worth a visit (you may want to book that in advance to save on the castle visit ticket). As a spa town, Leamington is very picturesque, with Jephson Gardens offering a beautiful park to wander through. A visit to The Riverside Glasshouse is also a particularly relaxing way to spend some time.

    • There are many excellent food options in town. Some particular favourites are: Kayal (South Indian, seafood-focused); Herb (Indian, vegetarian); Hayashi (Japanese); Red Hot Mamma (pizza, Italian); Rosa’s Thai (Thai); Taverna Meraki (Greek)
