Travel tips for Excel Centre to Stansted airport

Specify which Excel Centre entrance when booking - the main entrance faces the Royal Victoria Dock while the western entrance sits closer to Custom House station. Your driver needs this detail for efficient pickup.

Allow extra time during major exhibitions as the Docklands area becomes congested. The adjoining hotels and conference facilities create additional traffic around the Excel Centre complex.

The A13 eastbound often experiences delays near Barking during morning rush hour. Book earlier departure times between 7-9am to account for this congestion.

Royal Victoria Dock Road has limited stopping areas during events. Your driver can use the designated taxi pickup points near the DLR station if the main entrance becomes restricted.
