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 but it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
