Driving is totally doable. The Excel Centre has its own massive car park (sat nav: E16 1XL). It costs a bit—like £20 for the day—but it’s a palace of concrete and parking spaces. No Congestion Zone fees, just a flat fee that feels like a polite handshake.
But if you’re a public transport lover (or if your car is a ULEZ violator), take the DLR (Docklands Light Railway). It’s a driverless train that feels like a theme park ride. It glides right into “Custom House” station, which is inside the Excel Centre. You step off the train and BAM—you’re at a conference eating a tiny croissant. Life is good.
Or go by Emirates Air Line cable car. Yes, you can literally float over the Thames like a majestic superhero. It’s not for everyone, but it’s definitely for Instagram.
