Before you travel
Good to know about ExCeL to London City.
At the ExCeL end
ExCeL’s western and eastern entrances have separate drop-off loops half a mile apart — your booking confirms which hall your event uses.
Worth knowing
During the biggest shows, the DLR queues out the door at 5pm; a car booked for 5:15 from the east loop sails past all of it.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and DBS-checked.
For exhibitors
Stand materials travel in our estates and MPVs, and build-up day access differs from show days — we confirm the current gate plan with the venue.
The ExCeL–London City transfer
A ExCeL–London City Airport transfer lives or dies on the two meeting points and the fixed price. During the biggest shows, the DLR queues out the door at 5pm; a car booked for 5:15 from the east loop sails past all of it. Inbound, the flight is tracked and the ExCeL pickup moves to your real arrival; the fare from £55 is agreed before you travel, either direction.
Reckon on 10–20 min for the 2 miles, with 60 minutes of complimentary waiting and every toll, plus the London charges where they apply, inside the fare. Vehicles run from a saloon to a 8-seat van, so the same booking works for a couple or a whole party.
