The Expo for the Virgin Money London Marathon was held at an exhibition center called the ExCel Center. It was not in the center of London, but it was easily accessible by public transportation.
The Expo was big, bright and festive, with something for everyone. If you know me, you know that I love expos, and this one was no exception.
