Following the July announcement from international trade fair organiser RX that BCB, the world leading bar and beverage trade show will be heading to London in 2025, organisers have now revealed the date and venue of the debut BCB London Show. This iconic event will be heading to Tobacco Dock, Wapping from 30^th June to 1^st July 2025.

A fortnight ago, Bar Convent Berlin (BCB), the world's largest trade fair for the bar and beverage industry, brought the international drinks industry to Berlin to do business, network and discover the latest trends defining the bar and drinks categories. BCB is one of the leading international trade fair brands for the bar and beverage industry and has developed over the years into a hallmark of quality for trade events in the scene. Following the success and renown of the Berlin show, in recent years BCB has launched in Brooklyn, Singapore and Sao Paulo, and next year, the BCB family will expand to include a new member. The debut BCB London trade show will take place from 30th June to 1st July 2025, laying down a marker as the new place to be for the British and Irish bar and beverage market.

Tobacco Dock becomes the home of BCB London

A special event naturally needs an equally special location and Tobacco Dock in East London will be the new home of BCB London. The event location is in the immediate vicinity of the centre of London and is easily accessible by public transport. It is one of the city's most iconic event locations and as a Grade 1 listed building has a special industrial charm that perfectly matches the unique flair of BCB. Located in the heart of East London’s thriving enterprise zone, it also offers visitors an ideal opportunity to discover London's unique bar scene after the trade fair.
