I was recently in London, and my friends Martin and Max alerted me that Lady Olé was taking place that Saturday night. 

I had wanted to go to this party for a while so it was an easy choice to make. Spanish and Latin pop x drag x Hoxton = ¡sí, señor!

During the fun night, Max asked if I was enjoying myself and I happily replied: "Yes, I love it when London cosplays as another city."

• Like when London cosplays as Madrid, Barcelona or Valencia with Lady Olé (or other Spanish events) reminding me of parties I've been to in each city  
  
  
• Like when London cosplays as Bogotá or Barranquilla, watching football in Elephant and Castle with Colombia fans  
  
  
• Like when London cosplays as Riga, in a Bayswater bar for Latvians that's been open since the 1950s
  
  
• Like when London cosplays as Lund or any other small Swedish city at the Swedish church screening Melodifestivalen shows
  
  
• Like when London cosplays as Seoul, with a large population of Koreans living in New Malden
  
  
• Like when London cosplays as Stavanger, with parades in Southwark for Norway's National Day

So many more examples could be made - showing the global city that London is.
