Following invaluable feedback from both delegates and exhibitors, the London Vet Show has moved to the state-of-the art ExCeL London in the heart of the Docklands in East London. The move will enable the venue to be navigated more easily by delegates and the lecture theatres will also be soundproofed to ensure that they are as user-friendly as possible.
Here we provide an overview of how to get to ExCeL London and what to do after the show.
How to get to ExCeL London
DLR (Docklands Light Railway)
The Docklands Light Railway (known as the DLR) is part of the London Underground network. Two of the stations, Custom House and Prince Regent, are on the ExCeL London campus. Trains pull up at a covered walkway leaving visitors with less than a two-minute walk to the ExCeL London entrance. Service is fast and frequent - DLR runs 12 trains an hour. Please use the Custom House exit as it is closer to the London Vet Show and will enable delegates to get to the show as quickly as possible.
London Underground
The Jubilee Line and the DLR are the quickest routes to ExCeL London. Alight at Canning Town on the Jubilee Line and change onto a Beckton-bound DLR train for the quick two-stop journey to ExCeL.
ExCeL London – after hours
There are a lot of things to do in and around ExCeL with quick and easy links to central London. Here are a few highlights for those who want to go out after the show, but do not want to travel too far. The plethora of local activities include:
