ExCeL London Tourist Attraction in London

Reviews

   Great arena let down by the most uncomfortable seats! The arena itself is well situated with relatively easy access by car or train, lots of security and plenty of toilets spread about the place. There are hand sanitizer stations in abundance and a fair choice of eateries to accommodate most diets. The arena is very good but unfortunately the seats are terrible, might as well have sat on a rock! My advice, take a cushion! Other than that it's worth the visit for your show of choice.

   I attended the World Travel Market here which was a fantastic experience. The venue is huge, modern, clean, and offers many facilities. The Excel is connected to Custom House station where you can easily take the Elizabeth line to other parts of London. Everything goes efficiently despite the amount of people.

   I have been here for a few different events, both conversations for fun and industry events. It's a great venue. It's very easy to get to, it's a massive venue. Plenty of places to eat, but they are all quite expensive. They have places you can fill up a water bottle, which is very nice.

   I attended the World Travel Market 4-6 November in London. I was very impressed we had VIP tickets and it was a short walk from Prince Regent DLR. There were plenty of signs and importantly lots of wc's. There were water fountains dotted around the venue. Plenty of places to sit and relax. The food hall varied average prince around £12.00 a meal, there was plenty of options. Don't worry if you forget phone charger there are paid charging ports. Travel was with ease around venue with lots of signs and the floor areas or zones were colour coordinated. Overall a well maintained venue with public free wifi.

   I recently attended Salon International 2025 at the Excel London, and overall, it was a great experience. The venue itself is very large and spacious, which is perfect for an event of this scale. There were plenty of food and drink options available throughout the venue, which made it easy to stay energized during the day. The facilities were clean, and the atmosphere felt very safe, which is always reassuring when attending big events. Transport links to the venue are excellent, with plenty of parking available on-site for those driving. However, be prepared to do quite a bit of walking, as the venue’s size means things can be spread out. For anyone planning to stay overnight, London’s city airport is just a few hundred meters away, making travel convenient. Plus, there’s a wide range of hotels nearby, covering every price range, so you can find accommodation to suit your budget. All in all, Excel London is a fantastic venue for large exhibitions and events like Salon International. Just make sure to wear comfortable shoes!

   A large venue with an array of restaurants, coffee shops, events, and exhibitions. It's very easy to navigate your way around as everything is clearly signposted in large print. The ExCel is very easy to get to by Tube, Rail & Bus. The Elizabeth line brings you right up to the venue itself. Step free access, and lifts are available. The staff are friendly and helpful. There are restrooms on every floor. It is bright, spacious, and clean.

   Huge space for events and conventions. It's so big that they say from one end to another, you burn 55 calories walking. Massive halls for events on both sides and good restaurants for the event attendants add to the facilities. The washrooms are ample and available at every short distance. Enough security arrangements.

   Brilliant Venue. I've worked at many exhibitions and events here. Transport to the venue is very easy. There is ample parking around the centre itself and obviously on Sunday the surrounding roads are free to park. The centre itself has a Costa and a Starbucks to grab a coffee and breakfast. It also has its own eateries all in the atrium. Very large centre and very easy to access most things.

   We visited excel for the Jurassic World experience. Travelled from the cable cars to the otherside of the river. Walked about 10 minutes, with beautiful views of the river before we reached excel. The experience itself was brilliant. Almost Every section had interactive activities to take part in. Got some good quality pictures. The end acting was amazing. Outside is very clean, a big open green field area with benches to eat or sit and relax. The return journey we used the Elizabeth Line, 2 minutes and we were home.

   Visited on the last day of Pokemon Worlds and never regretted it! I love how spacious the area is and many activities are being held simultaneously in different rooms and you can spend hours and hours just exploring the whole event and not get bored. There were lots of cafes and restaurants where you can dine in and eat plus seating areas where you can just rest and relax. They should definitely bring back this event next year!
