<DIV>Its uber cheap about £20 a night and its 2 mins from st pancras. Im not sure what the check in situation is but as I live about three minutes further up the road I would be happy to store peeps bags etc till after the event. I am not going to the ESF itself as I am helping with an after party so maybe see some of you there too (details to follow).</DIV>
