Is there any such Festival this year?I am fan of Manga and a regular viewer of Naruto and Bleach. :twisted: I always wanted to attend such festival but sad there is no such festival in my country. By the way where is this British Museum. I know its in London but where exactly in London?

lol from the tube map it's between Russel square, Tottenham court road,and Goodge street
 
Getting there is easy. After emerging from Tottenham Court Road Station, one finds oneself at a crossroads. Head north along Tottenham Court Road. This road can be distinguished from the other three by looking for the giant statue of Freddy Mercury atop the Dominion Theatre.

Once you have passed this statue, turn right onto Great Russell Street. Keep travelling along this road, intersecting Bedford Square. You will soon see the museum on your left.

Using Russell Street Station is another option, though one needs to make more turnings to get to the Museum from this station.
