Went to the ExCel a few months back for the Marvel exhibition. I found the parking quite difficult to find. It didn t seem to take you to the right location when using Google maps and the signs weren t great. However once in the the parking area was massive with loads of space. I thought it was a little bit cheeky charging a flat rate all day even though we were there for only a few hours. However The exhibition was good as was the venue with plenty of food outlets and lots of choice.

I saw many big tiddie anime girls here at CumaCon, so that was good. However, I wanted to buy one of those weeb swords and found out later it was a Vietnamese sex toy. I want a refund, this is not what I wanted. It's like CumaCon thinks I have a girlfriend or something.
3/5 disgusting but for the B A R E A N I M E B R E A S T

Ok for transport, plenty of space and a decent selection of food stalls. But the toilets are tucked away far from the exhibition hall, down 1 level, loads of stairs, and corridors away. Poor water pressure makes them unpleasant. Some of the headphones don't work, and one or two of the microphones are a bit dodgy.

Cant find a fault, easy to get to whether you use public or personal transport, plenty of parking as long as you get there early. Very easy to navigate around the venue.

Lots of different food stands, prices are in line with the rest of London. The Costa is probably best value for money as it is just normal prices no inflation.

One thing to make a note of, this place is huge. If you are going for an all day event, wear comfortable shoes.

Attended 1 day of the FIREX international seminar. What a venue, the size of the place can only be appreciated by visiting it. I was very impressed with the organisation and travel to the venue. I came by train from North London and it was exactly as explained in the email that contained my ticket.

ExCel is an amazing and well organised structure, building designed for events of huge magnitude. ExCel centre has capacity to run more than two events at the same time. Clear, clean place with very strong security. Location is a little bit tricky by car, but nothing that a GPS does not solve. Good transport by using DLR. The down side, I guess same for all of these huge international centers designated for conventions and events is that food prices normally come with a premium price. Be ready to pay a little more. Otherwise, it is an amazing structure, good facilities, good parking space, very organised management and security too. Nice experience.

Excel London is an excellent venue location. I as attending the MCM Comic Con and it provided plenty of room for all the stands and guests. The staff were friendly and helpful. There is also a wide selection of restaurants, cafes and bars to use inside the venue. The venue is easily accessible from the DLR railway.
