London tradeshows Scoop and Scoop London will share a space for the upcoming July event, which they're calling an "extravaganza edition."

The two shows will be held at the Old Billingsgate building close to the Tower Bridge on July 24-26. They've been combined and will go under the name "Scoop and the City" for the event. Scoop was the first of the shows that was forced to move as its regular venue, the Saatchi Gallery, is showcasing the Rolling Stones "Exhibitionism" exhibition at the Scoop dates.

Scoop and Scoop London founder Karen Radley comments: “Although we had originally hoped to run Scoop London at the Saatchi Gallery following the Rolling Stones Exhibitionism show, the knock on effect of Exhibitionism means that the gallery will now be occupied by a major art show in September this year.  So with the additional space afforded by our summer 2016 venue of Old Billingsgate, we’re taking the opportunity to bring the Scoop and Scoop London line-ups together at this one-off event – Scoop and the City. Scoop and Scoop London will both return to the Saatchi Gallery on their original datelines in January and February 2017”.

Among the contemporary designers and brand showing at Scoop and the City are France’s Des Petits Hauts and Toupy, Italy’s ROSSO35, Denmark’s Black Lily and 27 Miles Malibu from the USA. Specialist labels include Go> by Go Silk from the USA, Denmark’s MOS MOSH,  Britain’s PARKA LONDON, France’s Arche and Australia’s Kirstin Ash.
