Excel this year I was at The Real Italian Wine And Food Experience.

Toilets
The absolute best was the juxtaposition of the entrance on the ground floor and the toilets also on the ground floor opposite.
This end of the gigantic venue, larger than some airports, is best. You still have a five minute dog leg or L shape walk to Prince Regent station. The semi-circular 4 star hotel has a spa and gym, delegates who stayed there told me. The hotel is conveniently right outside.

Behind it is a large car park.
Advantages of Prince Regent Station DLR
Although one DLR stop further from central London, best for events at the end furthest from the Custom House station end.
The PR station has a convenient lift behind the long staircase.
Advantages Of Custom House Station DLR
This alternative Custom House station is at the big entrance which is for larger events occupying the entire building or shows at this end.
The walkway above from the station passes a wall of green plants on your left. On the right you pass restaurants and a coffee shop.
Toilets on Two Levels
Inside Excel from the Custom House DLR direction, the first toilets you reach are down stairs. Not ideal if you are carrying goods to or from the show. Good if you want to get some exercise. If you can wait, you can use the ground floor toilet at the Prince Regent station exit at the other end.
The hall is the size of a major airport. I wish they would instal a travelator!
DLR stands for Docklands Light Railway.
