ExCeL Londontravel tips

Oyster Cards vs Travel Cards:An Oyster Card is the cheapest way to pay for a single journey on the London transport network, including the bus, Tube, tram, DLR, London Overground and National Rail. The card itself takes the form of a plastic smartcard, instead of a paper ticket. To ensure you pay the correct fare, you must always touch in on the yellow card reader at the start of your journey and touch out at the end. If you don’t, the maximum Oyster fare will be charged. You can purchase an Oyster Card in advance of your trip to London viawww.tfl.gov.uk/oyster

With 3 onsite DLR (Docklands Light Railway) stations, parking for 3,070 cars and London City Airport just 5 minutes away, getting to ExCeL London couldn’t be easier.
