Where to Stay in London for September Trade Shows
When booking a trip to London for September trade shows, you’ll want to stay somewhere that’s central and offers good connections to the various venues hosting these events. Our top London hotel picks include our Hotel Cavendish and Bloomsbury Palace Hotel, both of which offer all of the amenities that you would need for a business trip to the city. They have great connections to venues such as Olympia and will be the perfect place to crash after a long day on your feet. Staying near Bloomsbury or Gower Street will also give you plenty of options to meet up for a meal or drinks with colleagues and industry friends, helping to make the most of your time in the city.
Speciality & Fine Food Show
The Speciality & Fine Food Fair celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. It welcomes buyers from the hospitality, retail, foodservice and manufacturing industries to discover fine food and drink offerings that will excite future customers. Taking place in Olympia on the 10th and 11th September, visitors have the chance to network with fellow buyers and food enthusiasts and discover new and exciting partnerships. Retailers, professionals working in the hospitality industry, distributor, and wholesalers will all enjoy this annual event which will help your business to thrive over the upcoming years.
2024 Ciana Fair – Remainder and Promotional Book Fair
Around the same time you can also visit the 2024 Ciana Fair, a popular remainder and promotional book fair. This is scheduled for September 8th and 9th and is held in the Business Design Centre in London. It’s a trade visitors only event which has a great range of exhibitors for you to connect with. Our Hotel Cavendish and Bloomsbury Palace Hotel would be great places to stay for this event also thanks to their central location and good transportation links to the venue.
PLD London
ExCel London is home to PLD London as part of London Packaging Week. The event is scheduled for September 11th and 12th, 2024 and provides inspiration for premium drinks brands across the UK and world. The goal of the trade show is to connect packaging designers, buyers and specifiers from soft drinks, wine and spirits brands with experts from the packaging industry. This event first launched back in 2020 and has gone from strength to strength since this time. With so many changes in expectations of consumers when it comes to packaging, it’s an event that will help you innovate and move your brand forward to enjoy even greater success.
