The UK's Third Convention, also known then simply as London Convention, was held on 21 May 1939 in the Ancient Order of Druids' Memorial Hall on Lamb's Conduit Street, London, where its predecessor was held in April 1938. It was sponsored by the Science Fiction Association; its Liverpool branch expressed interest in hosting the 1940 one.
