Reserving your place at the KWHS is a two-step process, requiring two separate payments.
If payments will require service charges (eg. drawing a GB bank draft or electronic payment), consider arranging with friends to pay for several attendees at once, to minimize the hit.
- Reserve to attend the event
- Reserve to stay at the University College London site

Important addendum about mobility assistance
If you consider yourself as handicapped, mobility-impaired, or often explain to others that 'stairs aren't your friends', please let us know. Tell us what, if anything, we can do to help you get around the site, and get around London.
Edith will confirm receipt of your message. We'll start listing names of registered attendees.
There is no attendance limit on this event, but room availability may be limited, depending on other activities hosted at UCL.
Paying for KWHS
In Europe, you can pay for the event in cash (USD, GBP, or Euro) to Genevieve or Edith, or by GB sterling cheque or money order.
Details for electronic payment directly to the Thamesreach account are TBA in March.
Deputies who can accept payment locally are hopefully TBA.
In the US, you have the option to use the ACCEPS system, and pay by US credit card.
This system should be available in late March.
Reserve to stay at UCL site
All the reservations are managed through the UCL residences office.
We are reserving a block of rooms, but they are handling all the room bookings.
Contact the UCL reservations office by e-mail, phone, or fax to place your reservation.
Explain that you're part of the SCA reservation, and specify how many days you're staying.
If you want to stay extra days to see more of the city, please let them know!
They accept credit card payments by phone and fax, and cheques drawn on a GB sterling account.
UCL does not yet have an online payment system.
Please read their terms and conditions, particularly regarding cancellations.
Notice about UCL accommodation
The site is not perfectly accessible, by North American standards.
Examples:
The main venue (Ramsay Hall) is over several floors, with the cafeteria in the lowest floor.
There is one elevator in Ramsay Hall that serves the caf and the residential floors, but there are still some small sets of stairs throughout the building, even on floors that are 'one' floor.
In some bathrooms, there are small ledges to enclose the shower cubicles.
Hallways are narrower than you'd find in a North American hotel or motel - most English buildings, even new ones, are built on a smaller scale than in North America.
Please be aware of these limitations, be prepared for them. If there's anything we can to to help you manage, we'll do our best.
