Okay, so I was recommended the Arden Hotel as a cheap option by someone, so I know other TF2 people are actually staying there, but I was just wondering if I can get to know some people?
Main reason is that I'm rather uncomfortable walking back from the NEC at night, alone and in a place I don't know. Additionally, a few people to have a drink with at the bar before bed wouldn't be bad!
Let me know, and we can meet up at the event :)

LAN is great - you can definitely meet people if you just try a little bit! There will be friendly folks of all ages around the TF2 area.
I'm not saying it's 100% but walking to and from hotels in the area is pretty safe and commonplace during LAN. It's dark but there's ample lighting all around the area. Lots of folks do it. If you're super uncomfortable, you could always just get a quick Uber though.

Alright, that puts my mind at ease a bit :) I was just worried slightly because the route to the hotel includes an underpass or overpass, which can be quite dodgy at night in big cities

Just looked on the map and you'll be fine - Arden Hotel isn't that far from the Crowne Plaza, where I was last year. It's a pretty straightforward walk. Seems like you'll cross a railway but I don't imagine that's a huge issue. Most of your walk will actually be inside the NEC rather than outside! If you walk it on the first night and aren't comfortable, again you can either meet up with gamers or get an Uber for cheap or whatever.

ExzeAlright, that puts my mind at ease a bit :) I was just worried slightly because the route to the hotel includes an underpass or overpass, which can be quite dodgy at night in big cities
The overpasses were locked down for the whole night when our group was trying to walk back to the hotel at night, however going through the railway station was all fine for us at that point so you could consider that as an option.
