The venue is located in London's Docklands near London City Airport and has five arenas which will host boxing, fencing, judo, table tennis, taekwondo, weightlifting and wrestling among other sports.
A total of 143 sessions will be held at the venue which has previously played hosts to a number of important events such as the British International Motor Show, Global Peace and Unity Event.
