The London ePrix is an annual race of the single-seater, electrically powered Formula E championship, held in London, United Kingdom. It was first raced in the 2014–15 season until the 2015–16 season.[1] The event was originally meant to return for the 2019–20 season at a new location around (and through) ExCeL London before being cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The event at the new location was eventually held in the following season.

Perspective
For the 2019–20 season, the London ePrix was scheduled to be held around and through the ExCeL London and around the Royal Victoria Dock. The 2.252 km (1.399 mi) layout, featuring 23 turns, became Formula E's first "indoor/outdoor" track.[3]
However, the calendar was adjusted due to the COVID-19 pandemic before being cancelled. The London ePrix finally returned in the 2020–21 season, this time as a double header.
Before the 2022 London ePrix, the circuit length was decreased to 2.141 km (1.330 mi) by removing the two hairpins at turns 10 and 11 and replacing them with a bus stop chicane. The layout was further changed for the 2023 London ePrix, removing the old turns 17 and 18 to create a straight and reducing the length of the circuit to 2.09 km (1.30 mi).
For the 2023 season finale the circuit was changed again with the hairpin at turn 16 removed and turns 17-18 being taken out as well as the track was designed to run around the construction work of the ExCeL’s new ICC Expansion. Therefore the outside grandstands were removed and replaced with a standing viewing platform for fans.
