Description: | This display from 1936 shows a model of the Earl's Court Exhibition Centre at Charing Cross (now Embankment) Underground station. This free exhibition would have given the new Exhibition Centre a great deal of publicity. Earl's Court was a perfect site for development as it was a waste ground with good transport links.
This centre was built in 1936, but did not to open to the public until 1 September 1937. The first exhibition was a chocolate and confectionary exhibition which attracted a queue of visitors. Earl's Court Exhibition Centre hosts a range of trade shows and concerts. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Leisure Work Art and Design | Temporal: | Nov 1936 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
