TRAIN STRIKE

We understand that the strike is due to go ahead tomorrow and is expected to affect National Rail and train lines coming in and out of London, but not TfL, so London Underground and Overground and other London lines should still run as normal (but please confirm your line is running before setting off).

The event will go ahead as planned, both in person and virtually.

We hope that as many of you based in London will still attend in person however if, as a result of the strike, you are no longer able to join us please use the link below to attend the event virtually.
