From 1997, the London Athletics Meet was known as the British Grand Prix until what year?

The story behind the answer

From 1997, the London Athletics Meet was known as the British Grand Prix until 2005.

The name was used for the London Grand Prix meetings from 1997 through 2005, so 2005 is the inclusive final year. The event’s naming history can be confusing because British Grand Prix was also associated with meetings usually held in Gateshead and Birmingham.

After 2005, the London event reverted to the London Grand Prix identity. It was later promoted under names including the Anniversary Games and London Diamond League before becoming the London Athletics Meet. The competition itself remained part of Britain’s major international athletics calendar despite the branding changes.

The year 2003 is a common mix-up because it falls within the British Grand Prix period, while 2007 is too late. The separate British Grand Prix athletics meeting also continued under its own event history, which is why similarly named records can appear on different pages.
