The Radisson Edwardian Hotel

Orbital 2008 will be held at the five-star Radisson Edwardian Hotel, at Heathrow Airport near London.


About the hotel

The Radisson Edwardian Heathrow has hosted a large number of conventions, including Evolution, the 1996 Eastercon. In the years since Evolution the hotel has had two major redevelopments, adding new function rooms and social areas, bringing much more natural light into these spaces, in addition to many changes in the decor. The hotel has over 450 rooms, a luxury health spa, complimentary wireless Internet access, and a large car park.

The Radisson Edwardian is only minutes away from Heathrow Airport and so has very good transport links. It is close to the M4 and M25 motorways, and it is within the Heathrow Freeflow Free Fare Zone, which gives free-of-charge access to two nearby London Underground stations, and to Heathrow Airport Central Bus Station.

In addition to the hotel's own restaurant and brasserie, there are two other restaurants withing walking distance, and several more in nearby Hounslow. We will have Real Ale in the con bar, and there will be mushrooms for breakfast.
