The London Minicons were a series of one-day conventions held in a small hall at the base of William Dunbar House in West Kilburn, London, the building where Ella Parker had a flat. They were organised by the Science Fiction Club of London (SFCoL).
The first was seemingly a success and a follow-up was announced in June 1968, even though the SFCoL had effectively ended in May. However this second iteration was cancelled late in the day due to lack of interest.
