Travel Information

Should I get travel and health insurance?

Your registration fee does not include any personal travel or health insurance. It is highly recommended that you make arrangements for suitable insurance.

How can I get to the conference venue from the airport?

Hotel Address

Hyatt Regency London - The Churchill
30 Portman Square,
London, England (United Kingdom) W1H 7BH
Tel: +44 20 7486 5800   
Fax: +44 20 7486 1255

Distances To / From the Hotel

Heathrow Airport - 15 miles / 24 km
Taxi from Heathrow - approximately 45 minutes
Heathrow Express - approximately 15 minutes

Heathrow Express
From Heathrow take the Heathrow Express (every 15 minutes) to Paddington train station and then a taxi to the hotel (ten minutes).

With departures from platforms 6 and 7 every 15 minutes from 5:10 am to 11:40 pm daily at Paddington Station, and corresponding arrivals, there really is no faster, more relaxing way to travel between central London and the world's leading airport.

Airbus
Airbus is the London Transport bus service that just runs to and from Heathrow Airport. This bus can be caught from the designated bus stops. The nearest stop in relation to Hyatt Regency London - The Churchill is located on Oxford Street, to the left of Marble Arch tube station. This service does take some time due to all the pickups.

Do I need a visa/entry permit for visiting London?

As a general guide, visas are not required for Australians entering the United Kingdom for a tourism or business stay of less than six months but are required if you intend to work. The British Government administers a very strict entry regime and you are likely to be refused entry upon arrival if you fail to comply with visa requirements or if you are suspected of intending to work in the UK but are entering as a tourist. The British Government considers both paid and unpaid working arrangements to be work and a relevant visa is required if you intend to undertake any form of work in the United Kingdom.

Australian travelers refused entry into the United Kingdom may be required to return to Australia. There is also a risk that other countries may also refuse admission on the basis of the British government's decision, which in all cases is recorded in the traveler's passport.
