What's the parking like at ExCeL?
We're off to the Motor Show tomorrow and it's a pretty easy drive from here but I've never been before, the website says there is 'limited parking', how limited do they mean?
The other option is the train but that will be hot and smelly

I parked at Canary Wharf the other day, was about £5 for 3 hours and got the DLR train up there for a few £s. Only did this as found out from someone on here that they'd paid £10 an hour to park there. My brother was working at the Excel and only paid £10, but couldn't find out from him if he was getting staff rates or not.

For the Motorshow parking is £10 all day.
If you get there early (i did), with a bit of blagging, you can get in the underground car park. If not you get directed to a park & ride site.

Thanks for all your help chaps, it's much appreciated As it happens we do have pre-booked tickets so will aim for the purple zone rather than the park and ride

Aviod the DLR at all costs, much quicker to crawl on your hands and knees than travel by robot train.
Excel multistory at the West entrance is £10 all day and there was loads of space when we went last week (got there at midday).
2 mins walk from that multistorey to the show.
DLR sucks.

It took us 45 minutes door to door and was more or less traffic free (M11, A406) and we had a very good day

never had a problem parking there and i used to go 4/5 times a year for trade shows.
when i went to the motor show in 06 there was no problem at all with parking as it was poorly attended compared to this year!
