Your guide to what's coming up at ExCeL in 2022

After a difficult time for all throughout the events industry, the whole team at ExCeL London is looking forward to a brighter 2022, with a packed schedule to look forward to - both in and around the venue.

Of course, first up will be the start of the venue’s expansion programme which breaks ground later this year. Adding an additional 25,000sqm to the east side of the building, the significant investment will ensure ExCeL continues to be the home of world leading events across London and beyond. 

What’s more, this summer see’s the opening of the long-awaited Elizabeth Line (Crossrail) which includes a dedicated stop right outside ExCeL. Once fully operational, users will be able to travel from London Heathrow to the venue in just 43 minutes. And with two other stations, an airport, cable car, river services, bus, taxi and car parking all onsite or nearby, it’s arguably one of the most connected venues there is.
