1879 marked the fortieth anniversary of the Society and was held on an unprecedented scale taking on the form of an international exhibition. It even acquired the title "International Agricultural Exhibition" and as a result of the increased running costs the Mansion House Committee was formed by the Lord Mayor of London to help some of the expenses. Prizes were awarded. The site formed over one hundred acres between various railway lines, approximately two and a half miles from Marble Arch.
