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.
ExCeL's address for drop-off is One Western Gateway, Royal Victoria Dock, London E16 1XL. Drivers do not need the car park (E16 1FR) - you are dropped at the doors.
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.
Booth staff landing on different flights? We schedule each arrival, then run daily hotel → ExCeL shuttles during build-up, show days and breakdown.
Airport → hotel → ExCeL each morning → dinner → airport. One package price, one invoice, same driver where possible.
MPVs, V-Class and 9-seaters carry display stands, roller banners and sample cases that will not go on the Elizabeth line at rush hour.
