About Earl's Court

Earl's Court one opened for business in 1937 with the Chocolate and Confectionery Exhibition, and was joined in 1991 by Earl's Court Two which still boasts Europe's biggest unsupported roof span.

Over the years, the venues have welcomed visitors to shows such as the London Boat Show, the British Motor Show, the Ideal Home Show, the London Book Fair, the Great British Beer Festival and the Good Food Show.

The halls have resounded to performances by world-famous artists such as Madonna, Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden, George Michael, Elton John, Kylie, Rod Stewart, Queen and the Rolling Stones.

As the ultimate accolade, Earl's Court has been selected to be a London 2012 Olympic venue - chosen, according to Lord Coe, Chairman of the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games, for its west London location and excellent transport links.
