Arrive at your chosen hotel, check in and unpack so you’re ready for the conference start; an early check‑in may be possible if you request it. Confirm your hotel address so I can time transfers.
A popular Bombay‑style restaurant with dependable flavours and a lively atmosphere — great for a relaxed first evening and informal networking. Typical open hours until ~10:30pm (reserve in advance).
A short walk along the South Bank or along the Embankment to unwind and take in London skyline views after travel; free and calming before an early night.
Attend keynote talks, panels and poster sessions for the Cryptocurrency Research Conference; core networking and technical sessions typically run through the morning and afternoon. Please confirm the venue times so I can add break‑by‑break plans.
Classic British steakhouse with a comfortable setting for post‑conference conversation and networking — reserve ahead for groups. Usually open from early evening to late.

Attend closing keynotes, collect materials and confirm next steps with contacts you’ve made; conferences typically finish late afternoon — check exact finish time.
If the conference has a social event join it; alternatively catch a West End theatre show (typical start ~7:30–8:00pm) — a great way to relax after intense days. Theatre runs ~2–2.5hrs; book in advance.

Spectacular city views and modern British/European menu, perfect for a special final evening — Duck & Waffle is open late (often 24/7), but reserve a slot for sunset views.
