Countdown in London

From Countdown

Countdown in London, or Co:Lon as it is more commonly known, is the name of a sequence of annual Countdown tournaments occurring in the UK's capital. The first Co:Lon event was held in Islington, North London on 22 May 2010, and was run by Michael Wallace. A second tournament took place on 29 October 2011. After being on hiatus for several years, Co:Lon was revived in 2017 under the supervision of the FOCAL organising committee, with Series 69 quarter-finalist Jen Steadman as its new organiser. The planned 2020 event was cancelled due to the Coronavirus pandemic, and 2021 had no event for the same reason. The event returned on 9 April 2022, organised by George Armstrong and Fiona Titcombe.
