WTM London 2026: Getting to ExCeL and planning your visit

World Travel Market (WTM) London returns to ExCeL London from Tuesday, November 3 through Thursday, November 5, 2026. The event brings travel professionals together for exhibitions, conference sessions, and industry meetings. If you are travelling to the show, planning the last leg to the venue in advance can make a busy schedule easier to manage.

ExCeL London is at Royal Victoria Dock in East London. WTM lists the venue address as 1 Western Gateway, London E16 1XL. The event organizer’s venue page identifies Prince Regent DLR station for WTM’s East Entrance. ExCeL’s visitor guidance also identifies Custom House as the Elizabeth line and DLR stop closest to the West Entrance, while Prince Regent is nearest the East Entrance and ICC. Check your specific entrance and meeting location before choosing your route.

London City Airport is the closest airport to ExCeL, less than a mile away according to WTM’s venue information. Travellers can also reach ExCeL from Heathrow and other London airports using public transport. ExCeL notes that the Elizabeth line connects directly from Heathrow and central London; verify current service, journey time, and any planned disruption with Transport for London before travelling.

If you are driving, do not assume you can arrive and park without a plan. WTM says the Orange Car Park is pre-booked only during the event. ExCeL’s event listing notes that road access to the venue car park is via Royal Victoria Dock Road or the A112 because Sandstone Lane and Seagull Lane are closed to general traffic. Review current venue instructions and reserve parking if required.

For a chauffeur or private car pickup, enter the exact airport or hotel address, show entrance, pickup time, and destination when checking your ride. ExCeL spans a large site, so specifying the West or East Entrance and coordinating a clear meeting point can help avoid confusion. RideCar availability and vehicle options vary by requested route and date; confirm your exact itinerary in the booking flow.
