Update Regarding the Docklands Light Railway (DLR)

Published: May 1, 2026

There will be a temporary disruption to Docklands Light Railway (DLR) services only from Saturday, May 2 to Monday, May 4.

We share this update to help you plan your journey to Excel London with confidence. We very much look forward to welcoming you and are pleased to confirm that there are multiple, reliable ways to reach the venue.

Good news on getting here:  The Elizabeth Line to Custom House is running as normal from Saturday, May 2 through Wednesday, May 6, with frequent service (around every 5 minutes) and ample capacity. This remains one of the easiest and most reliable ways to travel to Excel London.

What to be aware of:

  • DLR service to Custom House and Prince Regent are temporarily paused. To minimize any inconvenience, replacement buses will operate from Canning Town, with a short journey of around 5 minutes to Excel London.
  • Ride-share and taxi services are also readily available around city for a quick and direct journey to the venue, with drop-offs at either the East or West entrances.

Easy arrival options at Excel London:

  • Prince Regent entrance and registration will remain open and well-staffed and is particularly convenient if you are arriving by replacement bus, taxi or ride share, walking from nearby hotels, or using the car park.
  • IFS Cable Car: For those traveling via North Greenwich (Jubilee Line or river services), the cable car offers a smooth and scenic alternative. It’s just a short walk to the west entrance of Excel London, and registrants receive a 50% discount on the journey when they show their INTA badge.

Stay informed on the day:  For real-time travel updates and simple journey planning, we recommend using the TfL Go app.
