"When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.” Samuel Johnson
Welcome to the capital city – a city that never sleeps. This year the 39th Annual BSPED meeting will be held in central London. We invite you to spend a few days enjoying some of the many historical and cultural attractions of the city as London gears itself to host the Olympic Games for a third time in its history..
With 22 national museums, 4 world heritage sites, 50 West end theatres, as well as many markets, nightclubs and pubs, sports venues and Royal parks there is something for everyone. The conference will be held in Mary Ward House a Grade I listed building built in 1898 situated within walking distance of Covent Garden and the West End. A little further and you could be walking along the south bank of the Thames enjoying views of the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, St Pauls Cathedral, the Millennium Bridge and the Tate Modern.
