Weather
Late October in London is cool and changeable. Expect daytime highs around 13-16 C and nights around 7-10 C, with a realistic chance of short showers on any given day. Wind off the Thames can make the walk between Liverpool Street and Bishopsgate feel colder than the forecast suggests. Sessions at Convene are indoors, but build 10-15 minutes of slack into outdoor transfers and carry a compact umbrella.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
UK mobile coverage in the City of London is generally strong on EE, Vodafone, Three and O2, and prepaid SIM or eSIM plans are available at airport arrivals and high-street shops. EU roaming rules no longer guarantee surcharge-free use for UK networks, so check your home plan before travelling. Venue Wi-Fi at 22 Bishopsgate should be confirmed with the organiser; keep a mobile hotspot as backup for live demos and video calls.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Business dress
Smart casual or business attire works at London carbon removal conferences; a jacket or overshirt over a shirt is the safe default for both session rooms and evening receptions.
Punctuality
Sessions start on time and rooms fill quickly for panels on DAC costs or offtake structures, so arrive a few minutes early rather than at the stated start.
Currency and payments
The UK uses pound sterling. Contactless cards are accepted almost everywhere, including TfL services, and cash is rarely needed for coffee or lunch near Bishopsgate.
Tipping
Service charges are often included in London restaurant bills; if not, 10-12.5 percent is customary. Tipping bar staff or taxi drivers is optional.
Conversation style
London business conversation is direct but polite. Bring a short, specific ask about volumes, durability or delivery dates rather than a broad company pitch.
Evening networking
Receptions often run from early evening and venues may be a short walk from Bishopsgate. Keep a charged phone and a saved map of the City's lanes, which are easy to get turned around in after dark.
Practical guides
Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: LHR
Book Heathrow (LHR) if you want the widest choice of long-haul connections and a direct Elizabeth line link to Liverpool Street. Choose London City (LCY) for the shortest transfer if your route allows it. Gatwick, Stansted and Luton can be cheaper for European travel, but add 60-90 minutes and a rail fare. Book eight to twelve weeks ahead for the October dates, favour refundable fares until the organiser confirms the agenda, and allow a buffer on the arrival day in case of delays.
Transport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: London Heathrow (LHR): 45-75 min by road depending on traffic; 35-45 min by Elizabeth line to Liverpool Street; London City (LCY): 25-35 min by DLR and Tube via Bank; 20-30 min by taxi; London Gatwick (LGW): 60-80 min by rail and Tube; 75-100 min by road; London Stansted (STN): 60-80 min by Stansted Express to Liverpool Street then walk. Allow road or rail time to Convene, 22 Bishopsgate; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Convene, 22 Bishopsgate: City of London, Euston and Gloucester Place: City of London, Euston and Gloucester Place; Regent's Park, Bloomsbury and Canary Wharf: Regent's Park, Bloomsbury and Canary Wharf; Mayfair and central London: Mayfair and central London.
Ride-hail: Uber, Bolt and FREENOW operate across central London, and black cabs can be hailed on the street or from ranks at Liverpool Street and Bank. For 22 Bishopsgate, ask to be dropped on Bishopsgate or Wormwood Street rather than in the building's service bay. Expect surge pricing after conference receptions and during Tube strikes; the DLR and Elizabeth line are usually faster for airport runs.
Public transit: Transport for London runs the Tube, Elizabeth line, London Overground, DLR and bus network. The venue sits between Bank, Liverpool Street and Moorgate stations, all within a 5-12 minute walk. Pay as you go with a contactless bank card or a mobile wallet, which caps daily and weekly fares. From Heathrow, the Elizabeth line to Liverpool Street is the simplest single-seat option; from London City the DLR to Bank is fastest. Check the TfL journey planner for weekend engineering works before relying on a specific line.
Parking: There is no general public car park inside 22 Bishopsgate, and on-street parking in the City is limited, metered and heavily enforced. Nearby NCP and Q-Park garages typically charge around GBP 30-55 per day; confirm live rates and opening hours. Drivers entering central London during weekday hours also pay the congestion charge, and vehicles must meet ULEZ standards or pay a daily fee. For most delegates, rail and Tube are cheaper and faster than driving.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: October 2026
Temperature: Daytime highs typically 13-16 C, with nights around 7-10 C; wind near the Thames can make it feel colder. Confirm the forecast in the final week before packing.
Seasonality: Late October is an unsettled, often damp period in London, with short showers possible on most days and daylight fading by late afternoon. Indoor sessions at Convene are unaffected, but allow extra time for outdoor walks between stations and the venue.
Packing: Pack layers you can remove in heated session rooms, a compact umbrella or a hooded waterproof, and comfortable shoes for walking between Bank, Liverpool Street and Bishopsgate. Add a warm knit for evening receptions and a spare pair of socks for wet-weather days.

FAQs & glossary
Answers
Frequently asked
Glossary
- Carbon dioxide removal (CDR)
- Deliberate removal of CO2 from the atmosphere and its durable storage in geological, terrestrial, ocean or mineral form, as distinct from emissions avoidance or reduction.
- Durable carbon removal
- Removal pathways expected to keep CO2 out of the atmosphere for centuries or longer, typically geological storage, mineralisation and ocean storage, rather than short-cycle storage in soils or biomass.
- Direct air capture (DAC)
- An engineered process that pulls ambient CO2 from the air using chemical sorbents or solvents, then releases it for storage or use. Energy demand and sorbent cost drive the removal price.
- BECCS
- Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage: biomass is used for heat or power, and the CO2 released in combustion or fermentation is captured and stored geologically.
- Biochar
- Charred biomass produced by pyrolysis and applied to soils or used in materials, storing carbon while potentially improving soil water retention and structure.
- Enhanced weathering
- Spreading crushed silicate rock such as basalt on land or in coastal settings so it reacts with CO2 and locks carbon into carbonate minerals; MRV of weathering rates is the hard part.
- Ocean alkalinity enhancement
- Adding alkaline minerals to seawater to increase its capacity to absorb and store atmospheric CO2; still largely at pilot and research stage with ecological monitoring requirements.
- MRV
- Measurement, reporting and verification: the protocols and third-party audits that quantify how much CO2 a removal project has actually stored and for how long.
- Offtake agreement
- A contract in which a buyer commits to purchase a volume of carbon removal credits at an agreed price and delivery window, giving developers revenue certainty before construction.
- Permanence
- The expected duration of carbon storage and the risk of reversal; durable pathways are usually assessed over 1,000-year horizons, with buffer pools covering reversals.
- Additionality
- The test that a removal would not have happened without the carbon credit revenue, a core eligibility rule in voluntary and compliance carbon markets.
- Article 6
- The section of the Paris Agreement that sets rules for bilateral and multilateral transfer of mitigation outcomes, including the corresponding adjustments needed to avoid double counting.
- Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF)
- The EU framework being developed to define quality criteria and certification for carbon removals, including durability, MRV and sustainability requirements.
- Advance market commitment
- A pledge by a group of buyers to purchase future CDR volumes at pre-agreed terms, used to de-risk early-stage removal capacity, as with the Frontier coalition.
