I went to the Game On Exhibition at the Science Museum last year. I actually drove down to Croydon (I think it was Croydon anyway) and took the train to London and then the tube to the Science Museum. It was such an awful journey, being school holidays it was horrendous to get around. So, ideally somewhere outside of London would be a great option. Of course it's just a case of finding that location. Hey, even if it was in Bristol it's got to be better than having to go to London.
