Carl, There will most likely be shared accommodation options available, as the London organizers will also be trying to promote and arrange for roomshare and soliciting local people who want to put people up during the conference week.
The dormitories in London were more expensive and less convenient than the shared hotel close to the conference venue that we have contracted with for housing scholarship people, as well as staff and other attendees who pay directly. The lowest standard shared room for two people will be approximately 90 GBP which includes full breakfast and internet. So if you are awarded a scholarship you will be housed there with a roommate - no cost to you.
