Earls Court Exhibition Centre is a closed exhibition, conference and events venue in
London that originally opened in 1887 and was rebuilt in 1937 in its most recent
art deco style exterior. It is located in
Earls Court within the
Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and was the largest such venue within
central London. The founder was John R. Whitley and the first exhibition included performances by
Buffalo Bill Cody as part of the 'American Exhibition'. This was followed by 'Four National Exhibitions', the title of C. Lowe's 1892 book about Earls Court and its founder.
