Getting to London Excel for A4U Expo 2009

Just over a week to go until the 2009 A4U Expo at London’s Excel Exhibition Centre, down in the Docklands area of London.

Excel is about 30-40 minutes from the centre of London by public transport, but is well connected and it’s an easy enough journey on the DLR.

Custom House is the closest stop on the DLR for Excel and is where you’ll find the main hotels too for the A4U Expo - Novotel, Custom House and Ibis.

Last year I made use of the Oyster card, which made the fares a lot cheaper and meant I could explore London a bit more too.  Might be worth grabbing an Oyster card if you’ve not got one already.

Here’s a PDF for directions to Excel that I stumbled upon the other day.

For those driving into London and to Excel, here’s the postcode for Excel: E16 1XL - although I don’t envy you at all!

Safe travels everyone and hopefully catch up with you next week.
