London Motor Show
Has anyone been to the London Motor Show? This is the one on Canary Wharf, not the old one in Earls Court. How is it? Is it a full show, with most manufacturers present, or just a few select luxury brands?

The number and variety of exhibitors varies year by year. Last year was down on prior years. In general, expect many (but not all) high end brands to be there. Example, last year included Jaguar Maserati Tesla Lexus Lotus BMW but not "mainstream" brands. The good news is that it's free, so you're not losing any cash by going along.
It's not a show in the traditional sense: it isn't in a special arena. Instead the cars are spread across the public spaces throughout Canary Wharf, there's no concept of entry or exit, you're milling with shoppers / sightseers / sunbathers (if it's sunny!).
