Goodbye Earls Court.

That's pretty good going Dell, but as you say it's 'who you know' most of the time! Did that kill any further acting ambition?

apparently not

Earls Court is better than the NEC, which has all the allure and architectural interest of IKEA.

Several times over.

But Olympia is rather grander.

It amazes me that London only has one half decent exhibition place (excel out beyond Canary Wharf), any other European city a tenth of the size of London has something better, and capital cities tend to have at least two or three decent sized exhibition places.

A few years back we were looking to stage a large exhibition in London, the nearest places we could find that were easy to get to were Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam and the massive halls in Hamburg, Dortmund and Koln.
(We went with hamburg, and its now moved to Singapore )
Had London had the space the show would have been here and still been here.

Eh? The NEC has an airport, a mainline railway station and a motorway right next to it!
