MCN London Motorcycle Show cancelled

UK motorcycle newspaper MCN (Motorcycle News) has confirmed that it is having to cancel its 2021 London Motorcycle Show.


It had been slated to be held at London's Excel Exhibition Complex from 12 to 14 February. The pandemic has dealt show plans a double hit as not only do present UK restrictions make all such events an impossibility, but the Excel Exhibition Centre, alongside the River Thames in London's Docklands on the east side of central London, is presently hosting the largest of the UK's 'Nightingale' emergency COVID-19 hospitals.
"It is with great sadness that we have to confirm the cancellation of the 2021 MCN London Motorcycle Show," the organisers have stated. "We must all follow the Government guidelines, and the latest lockdown measures mean we are unable to run the event this year."
In 2020 the event was one of the last motorcycle shows in Europe to be staged before the widespread lockdown started in March and usually attracts some 40,000 visitors.
