London Motorexpo

Motorexpo first launched in 1996 as a free outdoor alternative to the British International Motor Show and the London Motorfair. Located in Canary Wharf in the London Docklands, it was designed to allow office workers a chance to see new cars without having to take time off to visit a traditional motor show.

The London Motorexpo normally takes place in June, and often features the first public viewing of new cars, though rarely concept cars as in a traditional motor show.
