A well designed place for events. The event I attended was perfect. The talks went smoothly, video recordings were perfect and the sound system is professionally set. The lobby is big enough to accommodate a large amount of visitors.

My first time visiting the London Art Fair held at the Business Design Centre and I didn't expect such a well run and organised exhibition area. The staff were very helpful and it is wheelchair accessible with a lift.
I recommend taking public transport to get here. There are many cafes and restaurants about and the art scene atmosphere is one of discovery and cultural adventure.

Large space. Good exhibition venue. Cafe had healthy options and food was great but a little pricey (£11 for most mains, £2 for tea, £2.80 for filter coffee). Limited toilets. Free WiFi but it kept asking you to sign back in every few minutes (and didn't remember you). Loved the artwork and stained glass window.

We've been here for the London stationery show.
Wonderful architecture, worthy to see.
Opened in December 1862 as exhibition hall, became "royal" agricultural hall in 1885. After the world war used in various ways, not demolished only because on a draft statutory list of historical buildings, it came back to live as an exhibition hall in the late eighties.

Showcased at the BDC twice and both times it was excellent, many accessible facilities, and is convenient to navigate around as there are signs on each floor. Staff is good too, friendly atmosphere and perfect to showcase work at events held here. Many food places, local shops, quick DIY shops (Rymans) and nail salons around. Nail spa is tight opposite the centre and the service is good they only accept cash.

Came here for the Country Living Christmas Fair. I was lucky enough to win a pair of tickets to the fair from Artcuts, thanks to them for the tickets. I went along with a friend. We had a great time, we chose to go on the Thursday as it had late night opening as well, which meant we got a longer time to visit.
Although we didn't book any workshops we did manage to see some demos and did some shopping for Christmas
We also managed to partake in the free glasses of ???? which were served as the evening event started around 5.00pm
Would recommend this venue as it's easy to get to and well signed from the tube exit.

I went to the BDC for The Stitch Festival. It was a reasonable journey from Essex and easy to find. The breakfast was good and the staff were very cheery. The variety of stalls and goods was really interesting, and everyone was helpful and attentive to our needs. The only minor downside was having to wait some time for our lunch, but the restaurant was extremely busy and the staff were working very hard. I will certainly go again.

I’ve been here for various events from StylistLive, CountryLife, Mindful living show and foodie events too and it’s an amazing venue with close by amenities for shopping and eating.
It is easily accessible by local buses serving the Design Centre and a walking distance from Angel station (tune on Northern line).

Was only here because I was showcasing my work at New Designers.
From what I understand, it's a very expensive venue and as a designer the reward is non-existent. However, as a business owner, it's a great opportunity to steal student's ideas.
It’s funny and sad that a couple of months later you start seeing your concepts being made. Students blindly give up their concepts and months/years of innovation and research in the course of a few days - it’s just a venue for mind wrapping.

Visited for London Edge, staff were very professional and welcoming. Was a really nice visit and the toilets were nice and clean.
Wasn't keen on the cafe upstairs for prices, I think they may have made my drink wrong so just double check with how things are made.

I attended The Stitch Festival. I enjoyed my day and it was great to see so many wonderful stalls.
However, the setup was cramped and disjointed. The aisles are too narrow and I'm sure I missed loads due to being swept along.

Easy to reach and we'll connected, with many restaurants nearby and services like hotels and shopping mall.
The place it's big and we'll served, with enough rooms and arenas to plan your big event

Great facility. Refreshments were a tad expensive. Entry would have been expensive considering fees charged to exhibitors, though the Cynthia Corbett gallery very kindly invited me. The art was extremely expensive considering effort involved. Pity no traditional fine art on display, as I don't really understand such contemporary and modern art. It's fun to look at though. Call me a Sunday Roast traditionalist if you would... Hence my own art...

Was a nice environment to have a conference. The guards at the entrance were very nice. The rooms were quite suited for the presentations, while the big hall gives a nice atmosphere at big conferences.
