The Elizabeth line is coming to ExCeL London, making us the best connected venue — in the best connected city — in the world.
Linking us to central London in less than 15 minutes and Heathrow in under 43 minutes, the opening of the ‘events superhighway’ will be truly transformational for the shows that you bring to ExCeL.
From December 2018, we will be even closer to the centre of London resulting in more hotel rooms, more restaurants and crucially, enhanced connectivity with the rest of the UK. Ultimately, this means more visitors and exhibitors from around the world will be able to get to ExCeL and easily access the best that the capital has to offer. London’s getting smaller Canary Wharf
