ExCeL London

As with all venues, 2021 will go down as one of the most unprecedented and challenging that ExCeL London has ever faced.

At the start of the year, the venue was a far cry from its usual hustle and bustle as, once again, it supported the Government’s pandemic efforts as one of six mass vaccination centres, inoculating more than 130,000 people. Just a few months prior it had been transformed in just nine days into the UK’s largest temporary hospital.

Then in July it was able to spark back into life, transforming once again, into the world’s first indoor/outdoor race track for Formula E. This kickstarted a run of 90 events in just five months, ending with another debutant in the London Horse Show – again completely transforming the venue to welcome a rather more traditional type of horsepower.

In a year where flexibility was key, our venue offers exactly that, a blank canvas where we can effortlessly change from a mass vaccination centre to a world class race track, through to a bespoke fire training course for 15 people.
