The inaugaral LONDON FOR GROUPS LIVE took place on Tuesday 31 August 2021.

During the morning our guests were able to visit Chelsea Football Stadium and Kew Gardens, with the option of joining a walking tour of Covent Garden hosted by Jubilee Market.

Lunch was a hot buffet at the Strand Palace, or a free bubbles at Smith & Wollensky.

From there we went into the exhibition part of the day, at the lavish Strand Palace Hotel, located in the heart of London, just minutes from Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden and the Thames - which was attended by over 300 independent and professional group travel organisers, responsible for nearly 6,000 annual excursions, and with a combined database of over 200,000 customers!

Entertainment was provided during the evening, with guests given the option of attending West End productions Back to the Future or The Prince of Egypt.
