If your conference runs over the allotted time span and you are forced to travel in central London in the early hours of the morning you can take heart from news that from 12 September 2015 Transport for London (TfL) are launching their Night Tube service.
This is a round-the-clock service on sections of the London Tube network on Fridays and Saturdays.
The Night Tube service will operate on five lines: the Jubilee, Victoria, and most of the Central, Northern and Piccadilly lines with trains running around every ten minutes throughout central London but dropping to around every 20 minutes further out of town.
TfL also plan to expand the night time service to parts of the Metropolitan, Circle, District and Hammersmith & City lines once their modernisation programmes are complete.
Fares will be charged at standard off-peak rates for travelling on the Night Tube.

Carlton Hotel Collection is set to open its first Edinburgh boutique hotel. The group is planning a new 98-bedroom hotel in Market Street in Edinburgh’s Old Town.
The proposed hotel, situated within the UNESCO World Heritage Site, will be located opposite a side entrance to Edinburgh Waverley Station. Part of the proposed site has been vacant since the 1960’s. It is adjacent to a 1930’s warehouse building currently used as a temporary garage. This will be demolished and will form the other part of the new hotel site.
The project is due for completion in September 2017.
Carlton Hotel Collection currently has two hotels in the UK – Carlton George in Glasgow and Carlton Mitre in London.

The Eden Project in Cornwall has been granted planning permission for a £6 million, 115-bedroom hotel on its site at Bodelva near St Austell. The hotel will support Eden's activities, its educational aspirations including its future conference events, its educational programme as well as its annual season of concerts.
The hotel has been designed to blend into the countryside and will have high standards of accessibility, energy-efficiency and sustainability. It will be a timber-clad structure, similar in style to Eden's Foundation Building which sits outside of the main visitor area. The hotel will not include any catering provision. Instead guests will access the existing facilities in the main Eden site.
The new hotel is expected to be completed in mid-2016.

Gleneagles, the hotel and golf resort in Scotland, has been sold by Diageo to the company that runs Hoxton Hotels.
Gleneagles was built by the Caledonian Railway Company and opened in 1924. It was acquired in 1985 by Guinness which later became part of the Diageo drinks company.
Gleneagles is set in an 850-acre estate with its own railway station plus 232 bedrooms and four restaurants, including Scotland’s only two-Michelin starred restaurant. As well as golf, Gleneagles is known for activities such as grouse shooting and equestrian sports. The British School of Falconry is based there.
The Gleneagles Arena is the latest development on site - a 2,500 square metre versatile conference and events space which opened in May 2015.
Hoxton Hotels, on the other hand, see themselves as the urban, 'street-wise', new kids-on-the-block - the antidote to the traditional hotel with no expensive mini-bars, no high rate phone calls and no chargeable internet and featuring an eclectic programme of monthly events from around the neighbourhood. There are two Hoxton Hotels in London, in Shoreditch and Holborn. The group has plans to open in other major cities around the globe.
The company said it would keep Gleneagles’ management and workforce, maintain its status in Scotland and spend money on improving the hotel. “We plan to operate Gleneagles as a standalone business – alongside the Hoxton – to ensure that its management team can preserve the special appeal of this Scottish landmark.”
