London Comic Con 2022 Winter: How to get there by train, bus, coach and car parking

London Comic Con 2022 is back once again with thousands of film and TV fans set to descend on London Olympia for a fun-filled weekend. The event takes place across two days from on Saturday, 19 November to Sunday 20 November.

People attending are encouraged to dress up for the event, in their favourite character’s costumes. There will also be a star studded line up including former Doctor Whos, Targaryens and of course the big names from comic books too.

If you’re a fan of time lords then you’re in luck as Jodie Whittaker, who became the first female Doctor Who in 2017 will be in attendance, along with David Tennant who was voted the best ever Doctor ahead of Whittaker will also be there. Matt Smith will be at Comic Con along with his House of the Dragon co-star Paddy Considine, who portrays Viserys I Targaryen.

With the event taking place in London, parking can be notoriously difficult. Luckily, London has some of the public transport links in the UK, thanks to its extensive underground system and overground trains too.

Can I park my car at Olympia London?

Yes. Olympia London has parking spaces but they are very limited. You can pre-book a parking spot on the Olympia London website.

Alternatively, you can park at West 12 shopping centre and Westfield shopping centre. A full list of nearby car parks can be found on the London Olympia website.
