I'm taking the Level I exam in London in December, since I live in a country where I can't take the test I have to fly to London to take it. I would prefer to book a hotel near the test center, and obviously book it as soon as possible. However I'm having a hard time finding possible exam centers. Are there multiple locations in London? And when can I expect to get it confirmed where I'll actually take the test? Thanks in advance, Gisli

Hiya,i stayed at the Ibis...it's directly opposite so you could literally crawl there, but it will also be full of other candidates and I found it a bit noisy.

Much appreciated! I'll get a hotel sorted with an open cancellation policy asap. :)

hey @gislih09‌ It’s usually in the Excel Center in East London – the Tube line is the DLR, can’t remember which stop. Just the one location usually. I think it gets confirmed when you get your exam ticket, so pretty close to the exam. I’d book a hotel nearby that’s cancellable.

I think @MattyJ‌ also used to take the exam in London so he’ll know about hotels.

@vincentt‌ Kind of putting it off until the christmas holidays. Going through FRA super-slow but think that I’ll have to re-do it anyways. Not efficient…

@policedog‌ I note you don’t have the murdered L1 badge on here… I thought you’d slain Level 1? (I’m sensing that if I’m wrong then I could be touching on a sore subject)

The closest tube station is Custom House (DLR), but if you live in any hotels next to the Excel Centre, you can easily walk to your exam hall.

Following are a list of hotels nearby.
