Trade shows and exhibitions are on hold for 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic. However, event organisers are already looking to 2021. The London Motor Show has confirmed it will be back next summer, returning to the Evolution London venue in Battersea Park from 16-18 July 2021.

The organisers say the show will focus on technology, electric and hybrid vehicles and luxury brands, with classic cars and more affordable city cars also represented. For the first time, there will also be motorsport and motorcycle areas.

Alec Mumford, chairman of The London Motor Show, said, “The last four years of shows exceeded all our expectations. We are very much looking forward to welcoming new and returning visitors and exhibitors alike to Battersea Park in 2021 where we already have some very special exhibits lined up.” He added, “The current global situation has shown us what we need to do to prepare for any eventuality and we have factored scalable measures into our plans that enable us to incorporate any necessary guidelines into the show. We have the benefit of a big space in a greenfield site with plenty of room and will design the show so that everyone can get the best experience out of their visit”.
