start The start date and time of the event in ISO date-time format in local time. Local time here is Europe/London, i.e. either GMT or BST depending on the time of the year when the event takes place. This key exists for backwards compatibility only and startDateTime should be used when possible instead.
end The end date and time of the event in ISO date-time format in local time. Local time here is Europe/London, i.e. either GMT or BST depending on the time of the year when the event takes place. This key exists for backwards compatibility only and endDateTime should be used when possible instead.

location An object representing the location of the event, or null if there isn't one. Where locations represent somewhere that can be linked to on the campus map, an identifier for the location is also provided. e.g.
"location": {
    "name": "MS.01",
    "locationId": "41283"
}        
Location IDs can be used to generate a link to the campus map in the format campus.warwick.ac.uk/?lite=1&search=[SEARCH_NAME]&slid=[LOCATION_ID]
