The 2025 International Symposium on Foldamers will be held from the 1st – 3rd September and is hosted by King's College London, UK in the Great Hall on the Strand. The main conference sessions will be hosted in the Great Hall. The poster sessions (at the same time as lunch) will be in the same building but spaced out between three rooms: the Grand Entrance Hall, room K.16 and room K.20- refreshments as well as exhibitors will also be placed in the same room. All these rooms are within 2 minutes walking distance of one another. The conference banquet will be held at Bush House on the 8th Floor at the South Terrace. The conference banquet is also a 2 minute walk away from the Great Hall. If you have any accessibility needs or special requirements, please do not hesitate to contact us. Alternatively, you can also contact both the venues and they will be more than happy to help.
History: The King's Building forms part of the Strand Campus of King's College London in the UK. It was designed by Sir Robert Smirke in the course of the college's foundation in 1829. As the founding building, it was built between 1829 and 1831 on land granted to King's College by the government to complete the riverside frontage of Somerset House. The Great Hall is located on the Ground floor of the King's Building. It is one of the central congregation spaces within the building, and is used for many events and activities, including the annual King's Fellows Dinner, banquetings and press conferences. In the 21st century, the Great Hall was refurbished and restored. Many original features and styles of the Hall have been restored, including the oak panelling, joinery and the King's College crest.
