Black Hat Europe 2025

Attending Black Hat Europe at ExCeL London?

If you're heading to Black Hat Europe this December, discover why staying at the Fox Connaught beats the commute back to central London.

 Where is Black Hat Europe 2025 taking place?

Black Hat Europe returns to ExCeL London from 8–11 December 2025, drawing thousands of cybersecurity professionals to East London for four days of intensive training, briefings, and networking. Whether you're attending the full programme or select sessions, you'll need somewhere comfortable to rest, recharge, and prepare for the next day. Welcome to the Fox Connaught - an independent, family-owned pub with rooms close to ExCeL London.

Why not stay at the Fox Connaught during Black Hat Europe?

Long conference days are exhausting. The last thing you need after a packed schedule is a lengthy journey across London to collapse into a hotel room. The Connaught is a short walk from the ExCeL London which means you can start your day with a proper breakfast, return to your room between sessions if needed, and retire for the evening without the hassle of transport. Relax and enjoy a tasty meal and well-stocked bar in a traditional Docklands tavern. It's the sensible (and fun!) choice for focused professionals who value their time.

Our comfortable, well-appointed rooms provide the perfect retreat after intensive conference days. Wake refreshed, grab breakfast downstairs, and you're at ExCeL in a few minutes. No expensive cab rides, no wasted time.
