For lovers of classical music, the BBC Proms is currently on and there are concerts every evening at the Royal Albert Hall (near South Kensington tube station). Don't worry if you can't buy tickets online as there are always very affordable prom tickets (standing tickets) sold for 6 quid each on the day which you have to queue for (usually around 45-90 mins before the concert). More info about the concerts and related events here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/proms . I'm planning to go to the 19:30 concert on Sunday (14th August) right after CanJam ends so feel free to tag along!
Also there's a pretty cool record shop called Gramex very near the CanJam venue ("We are based at 104 Lower Marsh, Lambeth, London, SE1 7AB, near Waterloo Station" - from their website) which buys and sells Classical and Jazz DVDs, CDs and LPs. They're open today and tomorrow (but not on Sunday) from 11am-7pm. More info about the shop here: http://www.gramex.co.uk/ . Gonna bring some of my classical CDs to sell to them during this trip to London . Do send me a private message (can provide more details and photos) if you might be interested in buying some of my CDs before I sell them to Gramex.

Thank you for this info , i'll make sure to check it out. Are there similar shops between the venue and St Pancras International station ?
General question : will there be free Wi-Fi available at the venue for uploading pictures or reviews ?

I'm not sure, but there should be several other smaller (used) record shops in the area which you should be able to locate with a quick Google search. However, Gramex is supposed to be the one with the biggest selection of used classical (and some jazz) CDs in London if not in the whole of the UK, and the owner Roger is a really nice old man (who knows a lot about opera).
As for Wi-Fi at the venue, I have no idea...Perhaps one of the organizers would know?

Here are some of my classical (and a few non-classical) CDs that I'll be bringing to London. Send me a message if anyone is interested in any of these CDs. Prices starting from £1.

Maurice, was that you covered with Christmas tree lighting?
@ClassicalViola I'm looking forward to picking over your collection!
I'd be very interested to hear that Cagin and finally meet you! Are you there Sunday?
