Staying near ExCeL: what you need to know

What is ExCeL London?

ExCeL London is London’s largest exhibition and conference centre, on the old Royal Victoria Dock in the east of the city. It hosts World Travel Market, the London Book Fair, MCM Comic Con and big medical and tech conferences.

Getting around from here

The Elizabeth line stops at Custom House and reaches Liverpool Street in about ten minutes and Bond Street in under twenty. The DLR goes to Canary Wharf, the City and London City Airport, just two stops away. The cable car crosses the river to The O2.

When the hotels fill up

Hotels next to the venue fill up in the weeks of the big shows, especially November with World Travel Market and spring with the Book Fair, and prices rise sharply. On other dates they are usually cheaper than hotels in central London.

Which area to choose

Right next to the venue, along the dock, there are several large hotels with direct access to ExCeL. Canary Wharf, about ten minutes by DLR, has more choice and restaurants. Stratford, with the Olympic Park and Westfield, is another good base, with the Elizabeth line close by.
