Covid-19 safety measures
We ask that all guests take a lateral flow test within 24 hours before their arrival at the Hilton London Metropole. If your test is positive, please do not attend, and nor should you attend if you are experiencing any of the main Covid-19 symptoms.
Though masks will not be mandatory, we encourage you to wear them in common areas. Hand sanitiser dispensers will be placed throughout the venue, including at your dinner table.
Air vents will be opened intermittently during the evening, meaning fresh air will circulate throughout the Kensington Suite where the dinner and ceremony are taking place.
You may wish to read the Hilton’s Covid policy and the guide on travelling to England during Covid.
If you have any questions, please email events@timeshighereducation.com.
