The World Science Fiction Convention – otherwise known as Worldcon – is heading to the capital, after London was confirmed as the host for the popular event in 2014.

The eyes of the sci-fi community will be firmly fixed on the city when it hosts the event from Thursday 14 – Monday 18 August 2014, giving fans plenty of time to prepare for one of the universe`s most prestigious conventions.

Primarily focusing on sci-fi and fantasy literature, it typically attracts thousands of visitors from all over the world and organisers have already confirmed an exciting line-up of events.

The Guests of Honour so far include master of the space opera Iain M Banks, fantasy writer Robin Hobb, Grandville comic creator Bryan Talbot and science fiction feminist Jeanne Gomoll.

Also featuring talks, film showings, autograph signings and live performances, it represents a fantastic event to combine with a break in one of the fine London hotels.
