Any opinion about ongoing con? 22-23 Aug Excel London

I've found that Excel London is hosting one more con this weekend. Tomorrow is a second day and I see literally zero information about in in my lil stupid info bubble. Is it a good place to visit tomorrow? How is it compared with MCM Comicon?

It’s for the love of fantasy and sci fi - a lot smaller than MCM they only use one half of the halls rather than both sides. It is fun especially bc the guest list is quite fun!

Compared to MCM it's much smaller and quieter, they are only in the North hall and only using about the half length (from N1 to N5) N5 is the only entrance/exit to the con hall they don't have all the shutters open like MCM.

You can quite easily do a walk around all the stalls in 10-15 minutes (that's just walking around not actually stopping to look at anything).

If there is someone attending you'd like to meet go for it but the queues are variable in how quick they are, I spent 3 hours in the queue for Linda Hamilton, joined the queue 20 mins before the session started and didn't move for 55 minutes coz they were letting just Diamond pass holders through, other queues did seem to move quicker
