Cambridge is not far from London (50 minutes from Kings Cross station). The closest airport is London Stansted (STN). The other London airports are Heathrow (LHR), Gatwick (LGW), Luton (LTN), and London City (LCY). Trains from mainland Europe arrive at St Pancras station, which is right next to Kings Cross station.

The University and the City Council maintain lists of accommodation options. Accommodation can also be found on SpeedyBooker, including rooms offered by several of the Colleges.
(I reserved the Institute of Astronomy's "Gardener's Cottage", but these rooms are no longer available -- see email dated 31 May.)
It's about a 25-minute walk from the summit venue to the centre of town. There is a limited bus network, with bus routes U(niversal) and Citi4 stopping near the venue. Several places rent bikes.
The fee for the summit is £80 per person, including the conference dinner, and lunch on four days (which excludes Wednesday, when we will go to foodPark). This has been graciously subsidised by a research grant from Ann Copestake.
