London Motor Show, formerly the London Motorfair, was a motor show in England. It was held biannually at Earls Court Exhibition Centre, from 1977 to 1999.[1] When the event won the support of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders and P&O Events, in October 1993, the name was changed from the London Motorfair to The London Motor Show.[2]
The London Motor Show was revived in May 2016, being held at Battersea Park,[3] with Prince Michael of Kent as its patron.[4] The event of 2017 also took place at Battersea Park, before it was moved to ExCeL London from May 2018 and continued in 2019.
The event of May 2020 was cancelled, due to the ongoing pandemic, and rescheduled to take place from 16 to 18 July 2021, in Battersea Park[5] but the 2021 event did not happen and was effectively replaced by the new British Motor Show event at Farnborough in 2021.
