The LCSL Fest took place on Tuesday 18th and Wednesday 19th November 2025 at ExCeL London, one of the UK’s leading event venues, hosting hundreds of events and more than four million visitors annually.
Our brilliant Outreach and Marketing teams joined many other exhibitors at this year’s festival, and spoke to hundreds of prospective students, many from London, but also from further afield, including the Isle of Wight, Crawley and Suffolk!
The Ada stand was packed with Ada merch, prospectuses, flyers, stickers, badges, a video tour of the campus, and plenty of freebies from fellow exhibitors. We were also joined by Umut Polat (Ada ambassador and former student), Vidhula Vikrenth (current year 12 student) and Christabel Quarshie (Computer Science teacher) who spent the two days chatting with students and answering questions about life at Ada.
Our brilliant Pikachu mascot had a very busy time, getting swarmed by students and exhibitors alike. He even embarked on his own mini-adventure, earning the all-time lowest score on the reflex game (we’ll blame the limited visibility)!
We shared Pikachu’s antics across our socials, from attempting the worm, tackling the reflex challenge, to recreating TikTok trends and generally causing mischief. You can check out more of the highlights through the links below.
We’re hosting another Open Day on Saturday 29 November. Sign up for free to explore the building, meet the team and get a feel for life here at Ada. We’d love to see you there!
