London Information

The Vodafone offices are located One Kingdom Street, PaddingtonCentral (1 Kingdom St, Westminster, London W2, UK); you can find a map to it at Google Maps

On Foot

From Paddington Station Head in the opposite direction to the mainline station concourse and you’ll see a footbridge about 100 metres away, which is accessible from a number of the platforms (platform 8 being one of them). Go up the steps, turn right (left if coming from the Hammersmith & City tube line) and continue along the walkway following the PaddingtonCentral signs. These will lead you left alongside a towpath with the canal on you right. At Starbucks, turn left between two large buildings into Sheldon Square. Head straight on, passing the main PaddingtonCentral grass amphitheatre and shops on your right-hand side. Keep going until you reach Kingdom Street. Vodafone is the large blue building half-way along on your left.

From Bishop’s Bridge Sheldon Square and Kingdom Street can be accessed directly from Bishop’s Bridge by following the signs to PaddingtonCentral.

From Little Venice Walk towards Paddington Station along the towpath following the PaddingtonCentral signs.

From Harrow Road Walk across the new pedestrian bridge alongside the Porteus Road subway and the Travis Perkins Yard into the PaddingtonCentral development, following the signs.

By car or taxi

One of the closest public car parks is the NCP at Colonnades, Porchester Terrace. There is also a nearby Apcoa car park in Bishop’s Bridge Road. Taxi access to PaddingtonCentral is directly off Bishop’s Bridge on Bishop’s Bridge Road. Vodafone has a small number of spaces in the private PaddingtonCentral underground car park, which can booked in advance for visitors through our concierge.

Hotels

The Novotel Paddington is right next to the meeting location.

Not far away, near the main station, is the Hilton Paddington.

Agenda

The primary objective of the meeting is to advance the Widgets 1.0 specification suite by discussing and resolving open issues.

The overall scheduling of the topics is loose, in that only a few of the agenda items have pre-defined time slots to accommodate remote participants.

We will attempt to close all open issues by the end of the meeting. Therefore, please be prepared to comment on: a) all of the Open Issues explicitly identified in the specs and b) the open Widgets issues in the Issues Database. Closing issues before the meeting is preferred.

If you have any related WebApps Open Actions, please close them before the meeting.
