Depends on which one you go to and how many days you want to attend.
Search online for "MCM Comic Con" for more info.

He was the only Doctor Who actor there this year. AFAIK Sylvester M|cCoy was there last year.

Not the only company, there was another by the company Showmasters in London this weekend, Sylvester was at that one I believe.
I wonder whether Peter Davison made more money playing Doctor Who for two years or doing weirdo stuff like this over the subsequent years?
I myself was at London Film and Comic Con yesterday and met and had a chat with Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy AND Paul McGann.
They all had a talk together too so I went along to that, where they essentially said "We'd be up for doing another "Five(ish) Doctors", and that Colin Baker actually has an idea for one.
They then went on to say that if they were to ever be offered a chance to return to Doctor Who, whether it be playing their respective doctors or even just other characters all together, they'd absolutely love to, and they have massive amounts of respect for all the modern doctors, with both McCoy and Baker singling out Matt Smith in particular who they were really impressed by when they met him in person during the 50th anniversary, McCoy also mentioned how "Looking at Smith you can really believe he is an alien.... in the nicest possible way"
Meanwhile Paul McGann was overjoyed that Capaldi had stepped into the role, and says that if his Doctor could have adventures with any other Doctor, he'd want to be with Capaldi. McCoy then went on to point out that despite Ecclestone's doctor making a point of "Being the northern doctor", both he and Capaldi are Scottish and therefore are the true northern doctors, while McGann and Baker are also supposedly more northern than Ecclestone, so they all thought "the northern shtick" Ecclestone had was a bit naff, whilst also being very jealous that Ecclestone managed to be assigned the leather jacket, which both Baker and McGann had been begging for their respective Doctors decades prior
EDIT: Forgot to mention that McGann, McCoy and Baker jokingly made a play to be the new trio of presenters of Top Gear, which obviously would have been like the holy grail in comparison to what we have now

Sounds like a bit of fun and banter there. * 'Who Gear'. (I'd watch it, and don't give a flying one about those automobile things.) So who is the most 'Northern' actor to play the role? McCoy, Tennant or Capaldi? Grrr...Scottish agenda. Time for a Welshie, I say.
* (More fun than making snidey comments on the tinternet to make yourself look above such 'un
' things, anyway.)

Well with regards to the "Northern" Doctor, McCoy quipped that because he was the first Scot to play the role he should have that title, and thought it was a bit of a middle finger from the Ecclestone crew to have Ecclestone viewed as the "first" northern doctor
Which Baker agreed to.One thing I really, really liked about watching these guys interact with each other was they all talked like really good friends and there was absolutely no bad blood between them at all, and if you consider, especially the way Colin Baker was thrown out of the show to make way for McCoy, you could maybe understand if there was a bit of tension there. But they're just perfect together, setting themselves up for jokes, answering each other's questions for each other, having a laugh with the audience together.
I mean even when someone brought up the fact that McGann was invited to do a regeneration scene for the 50th anniversary, which McCoy and Baker were left out of, and neither of them were told anything about until the actual thing aired, both just made light of the situation rather than being bitter over it, and they seemed genuinely pleased for McGann that he actually got to do a proper farewell scene for his doctor, I thought it was quite heartwarming that they're for each other like that.
