Travel to Bournemouth
Delegates from outside the UK mostly fly into Heathrow Airport, which is London’s main airport, and then travel to Bournemouth by train, express coach or hire car. From Heathrow, there are regular National Express coaches from the airport’s central bus station and terminals 4 and 5 to Bournemouth. They stop at the Transport Interchange near the town’s rail station; don’t go on to the coach stop at the university. From Bournemouth station, it’s a short taxi trip to the conference hotel. There is a RailAir coach service from the Heathrow terminals to Woking rail station where you catch the train to Bournemouth.
Others spend a few days in London as tourists and then take a train from London Waterloo station to Bournemouth (with a terminus of Weymouth). Journey time is around 1hr 50min. London Waterloo is on the underground Tube network on the Northern, Bakerloo and Jubilee lines.
Bournemouth Airport has a limited range of scheduled flights mainly in the UK and nearby Europe, including Dublin. It is possible to fly into Paris or Amsterdam and get a connection to Southampton. Immediately by that airport, you can catch a train west to Bournemouth about 40 minutes away.
Hotels
There are many other hotels and B&Bs in Bournemouth, as it is a popular coastal resort. Near the conference, which is held at the university’s Executive Business Centre, 89 Holdenhurst Road, Bournemouth BH8 8EB, are areas called Lansdowne and East Cliff. When looking at other hotels, check that they are in these areas for easy of walking to IHPRC 2024. Google Maps can help check their position.
We look forward to welcoming you to Bournemouth University on July 9-10, 2024
