FYI: ExCel are operating a one way system within the venue, so the nearest station to get into the ExCel is Custom House and when leaving it will be Prince Regent.


If you decide to get the Jubilee line and the interchange at Canning Town is busy, it is a 20 minute walk.


There is more info here (if you have not already seen it)

Sadly not, the Games Travelcard which comes with your ticket will allow you to buy a Boarding Pass at the Oyster PAYG rate of ?3.20 single at the ticket office.

We have travelled today to Excel with a baby and had a great journey.


We Got the London overground from forest hill. We changed at Shadwell for DLR to custom house. It was quick and not busy. You can get bus to forest hill from ED but we actually drove and parked on wood vale and walked from there.

I made the mistake of going to North Greenwich where there was a 15 minute queue for the cable car, on the other side, there wasn't a massive queue.


Incidentally Royal Victoria station is much closer to the cable car station than Custom House.

Probably does not help as I live in Honor Oak Park, however my girlfriend and I went to Excel yesterday and we timed it out of a bit of fun.....from Honor Oak Park Station to front door of Excel took a fraction over 26 mins, how cool is that.


Also as we did not cross zones the fairs were really cheap.

    • I went last week and would recommend. I was very happy to see pricing based on hair length and especially a fringe trim price. I live nearby and don’t need it fully styled / blown out after a cut (curly so usually prefer to do it myself) so I like that it is variable pricing in that way. 
    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
