ExCeL London

Description:

ExCeL London is the UK’s most versatile conference, exhibition and events venue. Since its launch in November 2000, the £300m international venue has hosted over 2,000 events, been awarded several leading industry accolades and is set to host 7 sporting events at the prestigious 2012 Olympic Games.

Located in a self-contained campus, the venue enjoys the convenience of onsite hotels, bars and restaurants and is exceptionally placed to take advantage of London’s wealth of attractions, culture and heritage.

Event spaces range from flexible, multi-purpose Event Halls to a hi-spec fully integrated Conference Suite as well as 45 Meeting Rooms, many with stunning dockside views and balconies. Almost any type of event can be accommodated at ExCeL London, from an intimate meeting for 20 people to large congresses for up to 20,000 delegates.

Growing client and industry demand and the need for a world-class conference venue in London have led to the unveiling of spectacular expansion plans, due for completion in spring 2010. We’re adding 32,500 sq m of additional flat-floor event space – with added ceiling height for truly creative events plus an auditorium boasting retractable seating for up to 5,000 delegates. A brand new conference suite will accommodate up to 2,000 delegates.
