Venue

Royal Lancaster London
Lancaster Terrace
London
W2 2TY

Originally designed to be office space, the block that hosts this hotel was designed by the prolific architect Richard Seifert (1910–2001), best known for designing London's NatWest Tower and Centre Point.

The nearest tube station is Lancaster Gate, right next to the hotel. Paddington Station is just a 10-minute walk away.

Accessibility at Royal Lancaster London

Royal Lancaster London has been designed to prioritise ease of access and convenience for guests requiring accessible features. The hotel has been rated a perfect accessibility score in a study by Handicare in partnership with Age Co. The study found that Royal Lancaster London is the most accessible of the UK’s top-rated hotels. The hotel is working with AccessAble to ensure they are continuously improving their accessibility.

Sustainability

The AJ is working with isla to measure the carbon footprint of this event, taking recommendations on how to improve our performance and impact on the environment. We will publish the results of this report after the event.

Our company commitment to sustainability at events can be found below:

Our event attendees

  • Swag. We ask to keep this to a minimum with the aim to use sustainable/recyclable or compostable materials.
  • No ‘single use’ bottles. We encourage attendees to bring their own reusable bottles and provide water stations for refilling these.
  • Getting to our events. Directions for public transport only are detailed on this website.

Our menu

The menu for this event has been chosen with sustainability in mind. We will be offering a meat-free menu, and where possible, the venue looks to source local/ regional ingredients to minimise delivery impacts to reduce CO2 emissions from delivery of suppliers.

Our event suppliers

The Architects’ Journal chooses its suppliers with a bias towards those partners who take sustainability seriously.

  • Event collateral, signage and exhibition stands. Our event guide programmes and tickets are electronic instead of printed. The signage we use is from Insite Graphics which holds ISO14001 certification. Event signage is all either recyclable, reusable, or used to provide community power when disposed of – none will go to landfill. All the ink is water-based and much of our signage is moving to carboard-based alternatives, recyclable in generic paper waste collections. For more information click here.
  • AV supplier. We have chosen our AV supplier based on their positive sustainability policy, which you can read here.
  • Couriers. We request electric vehicles for our preferred couriers Santis Global. For more information click here.
  • Transport. Employees are encouraged to take public transport to event or to travel using our ‘uber green’ company account.
  • Lanyards. Where possible, we will source lanyards that are made from sustainable materials such as bamboo, and we aim for these to be returned, disinfected and reused.

We need to work harder

This section of the website isn’t just dedicated to shouting about how great we are for doing what we should have been doing all along. We need to do better. We would love to hear from you on how you think we could improve. Please email any awards suggestions to  AJA.Awards@emap.com. You can also complete the post-event survey which will be emailed to you after the event.
