They know more than I do but that wasn't my experience - I assume you're doing the October one and that's the one I did. The queue outside took forever to get in and that was obviously cold, although I would guess traders don't have to get involved in that, but once inside it was absolutely sweltering. And sweaty. The ExCel Centre is one of London's main exhibition centres so the facilities are definitely up to scratch, just be careful of the food because they really smurfing bleed you dry for it. I can't remember exactly how much it is, as I didn't eat there when I went to Comic Con. I had been to the venue before for a work conference and so just claimed expenses on it, but I feel like it was something like £12 for a generic burger and fries.
