Comic Con - latest news, breaking stories and comment
Latest London news, business, sport, showbiz and entertainment from the London Evening Standard.
www.standard.co.ukHere’s the latest I can share about Comic Con London from publicly available sources up to now.
Direct answer
- There isn’t a single “Comic Con London” event in 2026 that dominates headlines the way MCM London or LFCC do, but related major events in London include London Film and Comic Con (LFCC) and various MCM events that travel through London, with LFCC commonly held at Olympia London and MCM at ExCeL London. For precise 2026 dates and guests, please check the official event sites or recent press releases.
Context and what to look for
- Major London conventions to watch for: LFCC (London Film and Comic Con) at Olympia London, and MCM London events at ExCeL London. LFCC is known for Star Wars, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Marvel guests, and extensive cosplay zones; MCM focuses on broader pop culture, gaming, and anime with a large vendor floor and cosplay presence. These patterns have been consistent in recent years, with LFCC typically running in summer and autumn windows and MCM running multiple times per year in London.[2][3][4]
- Recent years have also seen seasonal or regional “London Comic Con Spring” or similar pop culture events, but specific 2026 schedules can vary and are best confirmed via official channels.[9]
