European Social Forum 2004 - Accommodation

Various people have expressed an interest in going to the European Social Forum (ESF). There were however some concerns about accommodation. For anyone interested, the ESF website has a section devoted to accommodation. Apparently they "have secured a range of discounts and special offers on hotels and hostels in London and are organising free home stay and communal accommodation", but these will be assigned is on a first come, first basis and so they encourage people to "register NOW!" Apparently, according to a flyer I picked up at some point, the first 20,000 people to register will receive a free Londonwide Travelcard valid on the 15-17 October, which is nice.
