About Our E14 to E16 Service

The #1 Canary Wharf to ExCeL London Taxi

If you're heading to ExCeL London for World Travel Market, MCM Comic Con, Bett or any of the dozens of major trade shows hosted there each year, and you're starting from a Canary Wharf hotel, office or apartment, you have three realistic options: the DLR (cheap but crowded on event days, with a walk from Custom House station to the right ExCeL entrance), an Uber or Bolt (subject to ferocious surge pricing on WTM and MCM weekends — routinely 1.8-2.5× the standard fare), or a pre-booked fixed-price taxi. Get London Transfer's Canary Wharf to ExCeL London taxi at £70 fixed is the smart middle option — fixed at booking, never surges, door-to-correct-entrance, and the driver helps with stand kit.

Get London Transfer has been running Canary Wharf E14 to ExCeL London E16 transfers for over 25 years and was named the 2026 UK Transport Awards Winner for Best SME Transport Provider by SME News. Every booking includes a TfL-licensed uniformed driver, free luggage assistance for exhibition stand kit and demo equipment, knowledge of every ExCeL entrance and event-day routing, and a fixed price that doesn't change for World Travel Market, MCM Comic Con or any other major event.

Canary Wharf to ExCeL London Taxi Pricing

Fixed prices for the E14 to E16 route, both directions:

  • Saloon (1-4 passengers, 2 cases) — £70. Volvo S90, Skoda Superb. Most popular vehicle for solo delegates and pairs.
  • Estate (1-4 passengers, 3 cases + extra room) — £70. Same price as saloon, more boot space for exhibition stand kit, marketing collateral, banner stands, roll-ups and demo equipment.
  • Mercedes E-Class Executive (1-3 passengers, 2 cases) — £80. Premium business saloon. Reclining rear seats, climate-controlled cabin, complimentary water, phone charging, Wi-Fi. Standard for VIP delegates, keynote speakers, sponsor representatives and senior exhibitor staff.

All prices are fixed at booking — they do not change for event days. The £70 saloon during a quiet Tuesday afternoon is the same £70 saloon during World Travel Market Monday opening at 9am or MCM Comic Con Saturday at 10am when Uber is showing 2.2× surge. No event-day premium, no Friday-afternoon premium, no late-night premium. Free luggage assistance, free wait at hotel reception while you load, free wait at ExCeL exhibitor loading bay.

ExCeL London — Every Entrance Covered

ExCeL London has multiple entrances and your driver knows the correct one for your event:

  • Main entrance (Royal Victoria Dock central) — most events use this for general delegate arrivals.
  • East entrance (Custom House DLR side) — World Travel Market, Bett, IP Expo typically use this entrance.
  • West entrance (Royal Victoria DLR side) — MCM Comic Con and Brick London typically use this entrance.
  • VIP / Hospitality entrance — for press, speakers, sponsor reps, VIP delegates.
  • Exhibitor loading bays — for stand kit deliveries and exhibitor crew with equipment. Drop directly at the loading dock.

Tell us your event and stand number at booking — driver knows the correct entrance and approach road. On heavy event days (WTM Monday, MCM Saturday), the driver may take alternative routes via Blackwall Tunnel or Silvertown Way to avoid Royal Victoria Dock approach congestion. Same fixed £70 fare regardless of route.

Event-Day Specialist for Major ExCeL Shows

We've covered every major ExCeL event for over 25 years. We know the Monday morning approach gridlock during World Travel Market, the Saturday afternoon MCM Comic Con cosplay queues, the loading bay timing for Bett exhibitor setup, and the gala dinner exit traffic at IP Expo. Specifically:

  • World Travel Market WTM (early November) — the biggest annual travel industry event, 50,000+ delegates. Heavy delegate and exhibitor traffic Monday-Wednesday. Pre-booked beats event-day Uber surge by 60-70%.

Compare Options

Canary Wharf to ExCeL — Other Options

Honest comparison of how to get from Canary Wharf to ExCeL London. The right choice depends on passengers, luggage, time of day and event.

Option Cost (1 pax) Cost (4 pax) Time Event-day surge Heavy kit
Pre-booked Taxi (us)★ Recommended for groups / kit £70 £17.50 each 8–20 min ✓ No surge — fixed ✓ Yes
DLR (Custom House station)Cheap for solo, hand luggage £3.40 £13.60 ~10 min + walk ~ Crowded but runs ✗ Crowded DLR
Uber X (off-peak)Variable £14–18 £14–18 8–20 min ~ Variable ✓ Yes
Uber X (event surge)WTM / MCM peak £28–45+ £28–45+ 8–20 min + wait ✗ 1.8–2.5× surge ✓ Yes
Black Cab (street hail)Metered £18–30 £18–30 8–20 min ~ Metered (no surge) ~ Limited boot
💡 Honest take: If you're solo with hand luggage, daytime, off-event — DLR at £3.40 is decisively cheaper. For 2+ passengers with kit, executive client travel, late-night events, or event-day surge windows on apps — pre-booked taxi at £70 fixed is the smart choice. Particularly valuable for VIP delegate arrivals and exhibitor stand kit deliveries where Uber's "we couldn't find a driver" message at 9am Monday WTM costs you a missed keynote.

Is the DLR cheaper than a taxi from Canary Wharf to ExCeL?

For solo travellers with hand luggage only, DLR is cheaper — Canary Wharf to Custom House for ExCeL takes ~10 minutes for £3.40 contactless. For 2+ passengers, exhibition luggage, executive client travel, late-night events or heavy event-day DLR crowding (WTM and MCM weekends), the £70 fixed taxi is competitive — split 4 ways = £17.50 each, plus door-to-entrance not station-to-walk.

Can you handle exhibitor stand kit and heavy equipment?

Yes. Estate (£70) fits stand kit, marketing materials, demo equipment, banner stands and roll-ups in the boot.

Free wait while you check in stand kit.

Do you offer return ExCeL to Canary Wharf taxi?

Yes. Same fixed £70 saloon fare in reverse direction. Pre-arranged pickup at agreed exit time at the end of your event. Useful when DLR is packed at event end (WTM closing 18:00, MCM Saturday 19:00). Round-trip discount available — book both legs together for £126 saloon (saving £14).

Can the driver wait through my conference for the return?

For multi-stop event days with waiting, hourly day-hire (from £55/hour saloon, £75/hour Mercedes E, minimum 4 hours) works better than two separate one-way fares. Same Mercedes E driver waits all day, all-inclusive — fuel, parking, congestion charge included. Common for exhibitor managers covering multiple events.

Do you offer executive Mercedes E for VIP delegates and speakers?

Yes — Mercedes E-Class executive saloon at £80 for VIP delegates, keynote speakers, sponsor representatives and senior exhibitor staff.
