How do I get to ExCeL London?

By the Elizabeth line or the DLR to Custom House for the West Entrance, or the DLR to Prince Regent for the East Entrance and the ICC. ExCeL says the Elizabeth line reaches central London in 12 minutes. By car or taxi, use postcode E16 1XL and tell the driver which entrance you want.

What is the closest airport to ExCeL London?

London City. ExCeL calls it the closest airport, a 15-minute walk or a short trip by DLR, bus or taxi. The DLR to Custom House takes about 13 minutes with a change at Canning Town and costs £2.20 off-peak, and the drive is 2.2 km.

How do I get from St Pancras or Eurostar to ExCeL?

Take Thameslink from St Pancras International to Farringdon and change to the Elizabeth line for Custom House, 24 to 28 minutes, at £3.30 off-peak or £3.90 at peak. The Northern line to Moorgate, a walk to Liverpool Street and the Elizabeth line takes about 24 minutes too. Network Rail lists taxi ranks on Midland Road and on Pancras Road; a pre-booked car is a fixed price for the 12.7 km, about 29 minutes on an empty road.

Which entrance and station should I use for my hall?

ExCeL advises Prince Regent for the East Entrance and the ICC, and Custom House for the West Entrance. The two entrances are about 600 m apart, so check your event's own directions for the hall and pick the nearer end.

How do I get to WTM London from the airport?

WTM London 2026 runs at ExCeL from 3 to 5 November, and the organiser puts the taxi drop-off and pick-up point at the west end. From Heathrow the Elizabeth line runs direct to Custom House, at that end, in about 50 minutes; from London City the DLR takes about 13. From Gatwick, Luton, Stansted and Southend the train needs at least one change, which is where a fixed-price car to the west end earns its keep for teams and luggage.

Can I park at ExCeL London?

Yes, but pre-book: ExCeL says that is the only way to guarantee a space, and during WTM London the car park is for pre-booked customers only. Access is only via the A13, not from Western Gateway or Seagull Lane, and the height limit is 1.9 m, with a few over-height spaces up to 2.8 m. ExCeL's 2024 guide gives 1,800 spaces. We did not find the tariff on the pages we read.

Is there a taxi rank at ExCeL?

ExCeL's 2024 travel guide says there is a taxi rank on site or easy drop-off and pick-up, and WTM London says its taxi point is at the west end. ExCeL's current pages do not say where the rank is by entrance, so if you need a car at a set time, pre-book it to the entrance you will leave from.
