Frequently Asked Questions

Where is ExCeL London?

In the Royal Docks, East London, close to London City Airport and served by its own DLR stations.

Is ExCeL good for a first exhibition?

It can be, but its scale means more moving parts than a smaller venue — a stand company with real ExCeL experience matters more here than almost anywhere else.

How far in advance should I book a contractor for ExCeL?

At least 8–12 weeks, longer for large or technical builds, given how much contractor capacity the venue's major shows absorb.

Does Redblu build stands at ExCeL London?

Yes — from both our Glasgow and Hampshire depots, with a named project manager on-site for every build.
