2017 Decanter World Wine Awards @Excel – some photos

Judges' transport to and from

DLR Prince Regent station

This year the Decanter World Wine Awards, with some 17,200 entries in 2017, has a new home at CentrEd in the Excel Exhibition Complex. This is all part of the DWWA's gradual move eastwards. When it started it was in Parson's Green just off the King's Road. Then it moved to Wapping and now this year it is close to London City Airport by the Royal Victoria Dock.
