Visit London

”Visit London is excited to be associated with the first London International Cartoon Festival (LICF). This is a truly unique event – a celebration of the art of cartooning in a major capital city. This event highlights the unique and truly compelling events which are ‘Only in London’. LICF is a showcase for cartooning excellence from around the world, held in a dazzling new creative venue: Kings Place in Kings Cross. It is destined to become a must-see on London’s annual tourist and creative arts calendar and one which we believe will be the subject of major media interest.”
Sally Chatterjee, Interim CEO, Visit London

I’m delighted that London is hosting the first International Cartoon Festival, on behalf of VisitBritain, may I say it gives me great pleasure to welcome this major event to Britain in 2010.

I know that our partners at Visit London will help deliver a first-class event, with visitors being assured of the warmest of welcomes. London is one of the most dynamic and exciting destinations and will be a popular choice for cartoon enthusiasts and professionals from all over the world.

As the national tourism agency for Great Britain, VisitBritain will work closely with our colleagues in London, England’s South East and throughout Britain, to ensure that visitors are given every assistance to make the most of their visit. Naturally, we hope that many will choose to extend their stay to experience the rich history, culture and countryside that can be found not only in England, but in Scotland and Wales too.

I am convinced that visitors and participants will be delighted with the facilities and the programme, but also everything which will make their visit to Britain such a unique experience.
