The routeAcross central London via Marylebone Road and the City, or the Embankment and Limehouse Link, then the A13 to ExCeL.
Paddington is on the Elizabeth line, and many trains run straight through to Custom House in about 30 minutes. For a solo traveller the train is hard to beat; the car earns its fare with luggage, kit, groups or a hotel stop on the way.
