MCM London Comic Con
This is the event that revels in the sheer joy of fandom. London's most colourful weekend of pop culture is back, with eye-catching costumes, photo ops, and stalls galore. Special guests include Avengers' Sebastian Stan, but the real stars here are the cosplay enthusiasts. Visitors can register to take part in masquerades, meet authors, or get a very permanent souvenir in the form of a tattoo. Children aged 10 or under go free.
