Our DConf ’25 venue is CodeNode, a space in Central London specifically designed for tech conferences. It’s conveniently located close between Moorgate and Liverpool Street stations and is a 10–15 minute walk from Old Street Station to the north.

Our presentations will take place on the ground floor in the CTRL room. We’ll have the entirety of the ESC area downstairs to ourselves, where attendees can relax, chat, or play games between talks.

Accommodations

We advise you to book a hotel room early, as rates tend to go up the closer to your travel dates. If you want to attend but aren’t yet certain you'll be able to, consider booking an option that allows refundable cancelation. That's usually more expensive, but better than giving up a refund if you can't make it.

There are several budget hotels in easy walking distance. The following are some options that, according to Google Maps, are less than a 20-minute walk from the venue. Some of them are near an underground station that is one stop away from Moorgate or Liverpool Street stations. Click a link to see the walking route(s) between a hotel and the venue. On the map, you’ll find links to reserve a room. Note that most attendees generally stay at the Travelodge London Central City Road.

BeerConf

Each evening during the first three nights of DConf means only one thing: BeerConf! Ethan Watson coined the term in 2016 for our evening gatherings in a designated spot at every DConf. We've sometimes been able to hire pub space for BeerConf and sometimes have had to gather at a local hotel.

In the abasence of of a pub hire, the official gathering spot is the Travelodge London Central City Road a short walk north of the venue. The bartenders there have been good to us in the past. No matter how many of us have shown up, they’ve kept up with us quite well. Drop by after dinner and talk into the night!

If and when we obtain funding for a pub hire, we'll update this space. Stay tuned!
