For an international flight from Luton we suggest leaving ExCeL about 3h 30m before departure; on the last afternoon of a big show, add 20-30 minutes because every exhibitor leaves at once and the A1020 and A13 slow down. Breakdown day? Tell us roughly when your stand will be packed and we will hold the car - waiting is agreed up front, not a surprise.
ExCeL is more than a kilometre end to end. Choose the West entrance (Custom House, Elizabeth line end) or the East entrance (Prince Regent DLR end) when you book, or simply give your hall number. The driver texts the exact spot and car registration, and you text back when you are walking out. Staying at Aloft, Novotel, DoubleTree, Sunborn or another ExCeL hotel? We collect from the hotel door instead.
From Luton the driver uses the M1 south and either the A406 North Circular to the A13, or the M25 and M11 when the North Circular is congested, arriving on the A1020 at ExCeL's Western Gateway. (in reverse). The driver checks live traffic before setting off and builds in a buffer for your flight time.
By rail it is the DART shuttle to Luton Airport Parkway, Thameslink to Farringdon and then the Elizabeth line to Custom House - roughly 80-100 minutes with two changes. A pre-booked car is the easier choice with luggage, early flights or late arrivals.
From £151 in a saloon, £169 in an MPV, £223 in a V-Class and £205 in a 9-seater - fixed per vehicle, including tolls and airport drop-off charges.
Around 3h 30m before take-off for an international flight; add 20-30 minutes on the final day of a large show.
