From Hornchurch (RM11, RM12) the natural line out is the A127 and the A12, joining A13 then Connaught Bridge and Western Gateway for the last part of the journey. That is about 12.3 miles door to door. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 30 min off-peak becomes 45 min when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
The Western or Eastern entrance taxi ranks on Western Gateway. ExCeL is over a kilometre end to end, so it matters whether your hall is at the West or East entrance - tell us the hall number when booking.
Address: One Western Gateway, Royal Victoria Dock, E16 1XL.
We pick up anywhere in Hornchurch and the surrounding East London postcodes - RM11, RM12. That includes home addresses, hotels, offices and the station forecourt.
Pickups run across Hornchurch and the RM11, RM12 streets around it, at whatever hour you need; there is no minimum and no surge.
Doors are usually an hour before the event starts. Allowing 45 min for the drive from Hornchurch plus that hour is the timing that works on a busy night.
The return is the leg worth planning. Everyone leaves ExCeL London at once, so a car booked to wait at the agreed point gets you moving while the queue is still forming - same £45 back to Hornchurch.
A saloon is from £45, an estate from £55, a 6-seat MPV from £65 and an 8-seat minibus from £85. The price is fixed when you book and covers the whole journey.
