BtP presents • Procol Harum's 40th Birthday Celebrations • 20 / 21 July 2007 |
|
Accommodation in good-class hotels in Central London in 'the
high season' is not easy to find in the quantities required to allow all visiting Palers to stay
together and enjoy the benefits of shared transport, and the pleasures of
communal eating and drinking, as at former Procol gatherings. BtP proposes for the first
time a choice of Basecamp Hotels, one very close to the gigs, and one midway
between the gigs and Heathrow, which we hope will suit a variety of needs.
Discounted room-rates for Palers have been negotiated with both hotels.
Consult the table below, and click on the title-links for pictures of the hotels (BtP
has visited both) and price details:

Of course, there is other accommodation available in London, often quite cheaply, if you're happy to seek it out yourself, to take your chances in terms of location / transport, and don't mind the lack of Procoholic company (some may find the latter a positive advantage!): try Hotels.com .
Palers' Band: please note that rehearsals will be out-of-London, to avoid expensive hire and accommodation, on Monday 16 – Thursday 19 July. Friday will be free, for travelling to your London accommodation. A page about the arrangements for musicians is here.
