For an international flight from Stansted we suggest leaving ExCeL about 3h 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.
Stansted is the quickest of the big airports for ExCeL: the M11 south, the A406 North Circular and the A13 into the Royal Docks, with no central London traffic. Off-peak it can be under 50 minutes door to door. (in reverse). The driver checks live traffic before setting off and builds in a buffer for your flight time.
The Stansted Express goes to Tottenham Hale or Liverpool Street, then you change for the Elizabeth line or the Underground to reach Custom House - about 75-90 minutes. The car avoids both changes and drops you at your hall's entrance.
