Getting to the BSC Expo

Getting There

Battersea Evolution is very centrally located; however, parking spaces are limited. Therefore, wherever possible, we encourage all attendees to use public transport . For more details please see below.

Please be aware that BSC Expo has some security measures in place at Battersea Evolution.

 

To ensure your visit is enjoyable and you do not encounter any delays please bear the following in mind:

  • All bags larger than handbag or laptop bags must be stored in our cloakrooms – if you do not have to bring larger bags we ask you not to as the cloakrooms do get very busy and you may need to queue.
  • Any bag which is small enough to enter the event in will be searched on entry and exit of the Expo
  • If you wish to bring in any cameras or filming equipment (other than mobile phones) during the open period of the exhibition you must have prior consent from BSC. If you do not apply for this it may cause a delay in you entering the exhibition or mean your goods will have to be stored in our offices during your visit. 

BSC EXPO SHUTTLE BUS UPDATE – PLEASE READ

We are looking forward to seeing you next week at BSC Expo 2026 and are excited to be back at Battersea Evolution. For 2026, the shuttle buses to and from Sloane Square will not run, this is due to significant road works for major gas works in the area causing huge delays and disruption

However, over the last few years, Battersea has had extensive improvements, and one of these is the new underground Battersea Power Station (Northern Line) which is very close the Battersea Evolution.

There are also many bus routes dropping at Battersea Park and travel information can be found at https://tfl.gov.uk/plan-a-journey

Additionally, the removal of the shuttle bus service helps us to improve the carbon footprint of the event, something that the BSC are incredibly passionate about.
