and live on Freeview channel 276
The Olympia London transforms into another universe this weekend with a number of stars set to appear at the London Comic Con Winter 2022. The event will be held across Saturday November 19 and Sunday November 20 with doors opening to pop culture enthusiasts from 9am both days.
Some of the big highlights of the 2022 convention include appearances by former Doctor Who star and current House Of Dragon cast member Matt Smith, who will be undertaking photo opportunities with both the TARDIS and a green screen House of Dragon themed photo session. Smith is also joined by celebrated actor Paddy Considine, a fellow cast member in HBO’s Game of Thrones spinoff, though before then sci-fi fans may remember Considine in the Edgar Wright comedy-thriller The World’s End with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.

For older fans of the Time Lord, both Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy will also be appearing at London Comic Con Winter 2022 - both played the sixth and seventh Doctor Who respectively.
Modern fantasy fans will be delighted to see Stranger Things’ “big bad” Jamie Campbell Bower will be in attendance, while comic book lovers can look forward to meet and greets with the likes of illustrator Gary Erskine, a longtime collaborator with writing names such as Mark Millar, Garth Ennis and Grant Morrison, and Pau Scorpi, who has illustrated and coloured titles like Titan’s Rivers of London.
Londonworld, much like the many helpers the good Doctor Who has had over the years, is here to guide you through how to get tickets, plus the process of getting a photo or an autograph at London Comic Con 2022 Winter.

How to get an autograph or photo with a London Comic Con 2022 Winter guest
London Comic Con 2022 Winter Autographs
Autographs need to be purchased at the desk just before the signing table, photos to sign are included in the cost of the autograph unless you have your own item you want signed. You can pay in cash, or you can purchase Credit Card vouchers from the sales desk prior to joining the autograph queue.
To prevent overcrowding around the signing areas, be aware that for some guests a queue management system (Virtual Queue or VQ) will be in operation that is easy to follow.
It is advisable to visit the autograph area of the show early to obtain your autograph queue tickets, this virtual queue ticket will have a number on it, and you will notice there will be signs close to the signing areas of each guest that will be updated regularly with a number – when your ticket number falls under the displayed number, you will be able to start queuing for your autograph.

Hide AdPhoto tickets can be purchased in advance online or on the day from the London Comic Con 2022 Winter Sales Desk, subject to availability. Each guest who will be taking part in photo ops will be assigned at least one session over the weekend, or one session per day depending on demand and scheduling.
Your photograph will be taken by a professional photographer in one of our on-site studios and taken in front of a backdrop, with lighting to ensure the best possible image. You will be standing beside the guest, or in some cases sat next to the guest, not leaning over a table.
Your photograph will be a 6” by 9” colour photograph (not an inkjet print) and will be ready for collection almost immediately.
It goes without saying if you have purchased a Green Screen Photo Shoot you will need to make sure you do not wear green clothing.

Organisers have not added any restrictions on visitors taking photos of guests whilst queuing at their autograph table due to there being a photo shoot option. Some guests will have restrictions however regarding photography at their table, and if this is the case there will be signage at their table or booth to confirm if photography is allowed or not.
