Every venue mapped in London appears above. The ones with enough published detail to be worth reading have their own guide and are linked; the rest are named here, which is honest about what the record holds without giving each of them a page made of three facts.
Convention and exhibition space
One venue in London is classified as exhibition or convention space.
- Western Fair Districtsize not published
Capacities are the figure the venue or an encyclopaedia entry published. They are usually the seated maximum, and the same room in banquet or reception layout can differ by half. Confirm the layout you want before you plan around a number.
Getting attendees to London
London International Airport (YXU) sits 9 km (5.6 mi) from the centre, close enough that a same-day arrival is realistic for most of your speakers.
Local time is Toronto time (America/Toronto) — set every session time in the app to that zone and let attendees' phones do the conversion.
Stratford, Norfolk County and Kitchener are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if London has nothing free on your dates.

Worth knowing before you sign
Confirm the room before the date
Nothing in the London record flags an unusual constraint, which in practice means the ordinary one applies: hold the venue before you announce the date, because a date without a room is the only mistake that cannot be fixed later.
What event67 costs for a London event
A London programme at 950 activated attendees — sized to Canada Life Place, the largest stated capacity in the London dataset — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.
- activated attendees
- 950activated attendees
- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 900billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at CA$7 each
- CA$6,300for the whole event, at CA$7 each
You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in London does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
By event type
With a stated ceiling of 9,046 seats, London can carry a full trade show or a multi-track annual meeting without splitting the audience across buildings.
- trade shows and exhibitions
1 exhibition or convention hall means a booth plan is possible in London without renting a marquee.
- multi-track conferences
A 9,046-seat room carries a plenary with breakouts running alongside it.
- association annual meetings
An association meeting needs one big room, several small ones and a hotel block, which is the combination London is set up for.
- festivals
An arena or stadium floor at 9,046 takes an audience no conference venue in London can.
- sports tournaments
The same rooms already run fixtures, so load-in and crowd flow are solved.

What is the largest venue in London?
Of the 34 venues mapped in London, the largest stated capacity belongs to Canada Life Place at 9,046. Capacities in open data are the figure the venue itself published, and they are the seated number rather than a standing or exhibition figure, so confirm the layout you actually want before you plan around it.
Does London have a convention centre?
Yes — 1 venue is classified as exhibition or convention space in London, including Western Fair District. Exhibition halls are booked by floor area rather than by seat, so ask for the hall sheet with column spacing and load-in access rather than a capacity number.
Which airport do attendees fly into for London?
London International Airport (YXU), about 9 km (5.6 mi) from the city. It is the highest-traffic airport within reach in this dataset. Local time is America/Toronto; publish every session in that zone and let attendees' phones convert it.

Is event67 billed in Canadian dollars for a London event?
Yes. Canadian events are billed at CA$7 per activated attendee beyond the first 50, capped at CA$6,650 for one event. That is a flat local price we charge in Canadian dollars, not a conversion of the US figure.
