 Adding to the Committee's woes, the site for the Exhibition was still not confirmed.The preferred site was in Hyde Park, adjacent to Princes Gate near Kensington Rd, but other sites considered included Wormwood Scrubs, Battersea Park, the Isle of Dogs, Victoria Park, and Regent's Park.Opponents of the scheme lobbied strenuously against the use of Hyde Park (and they were strongly supported by "The Times").
