I think we missed the main events but it was still interesting to see a few people wandering round in some crazy costumes. We went to a cosplay talk but the section on the history of cosplay was quite long so we ended leaving before the end. But I did buy some chocolate pocky so I was happy munching on those!
Cosplay is short for costume play where broadly people dress in costumes (for example representing manga/sci fi/comic characters) but with an element of role play or performance involved.

This was a one off event but I suspect there will be a London cosplay scene if you google around a bit.
