(London W6)
The earliest of London's great exhibition halls, built in Hammersmith in 1884. It was the home of spectacular live entertainment (in particular *Bertram Mills Circus), and it housed the *Motor Show from 1905, the first *Royal International Horse Show in 1907 and the first *Ideal Home Exhibition in 1908, though recently it has lost these events to more modern halls.
