ExCeL London (an abbreviation for Exhibition Centre London)[3] is an international exhibition and convention centre in the Custom House area of Newham, East London.[4] The former hospital is situated on a 100-acre (0.40 km2) site on the northern quay of the Royal Victoria Dock in London Docklands, located between Canary Wharf and London City Airport.

History[edit]

Aerial view of ExCeL in 2008, before its extension

The centre was designed by Moxley Architects and built by Sir Robert McAlpine. It opened in November 2000.[5][6] In May 2008 it was acquired by Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company. Phase II of development, which included building London’s first International Convention Centre (ICC) and creating an «eastern arrival experience», was completed on 1 May 2010 with Phase 3 expected to be completed by 2023/24.

In 2015, CentrEd at ExCeL was opened,[7] which expanded the centre’s facilities to incorporate training and meeting space near the western entrance of the venue overlooking Royal Victoria Dock.

The Royal Victoria Dock closed to commercial traffic in 1981, but it is still accessible to shipping. The Centre’s waterfront location allows visiting vessels to moor alongside the Centre. An example of this is HMS Sutherland visiting the 2005 London Boat Show.[8]

The design of the exhibition building consists of two column-free, rectangular, sub-divisible halls of approximately 479,493 sq. ft. (44,546 sq. m.), on either side of a central boulevard containing catering facilities and information points.[9][10] There are also three sets of function rooms, one overlooking the water, another above the western end of the central boulevard, and the third on the north side of the building which are used for smaller meetings, seminars, presentations and corporate hospitality. The property is surrounded by six hotels,[11] bars and restaurants, and 1,800 parking spaces situated underneath the property with 85 accessible spaces.[12]

ExCeL London has hosted numerous consumer and trade, private and public events, including exhibitions, conferences, concerts, weddings and religious events. Among these have been WorldSkills London 2011, the London Boat Show, the British International Motor Show, Grand Designs Live, the Carole Nash MCN Motorcycle Show, MCM London Comic Con, the London International Music Show, Star Wars Celebration Europe, London Marathon registration, the World Travel Market, The Clothes Show London, Defence Security and Equipment International (DSEi), The Dive Show, the Global Peace and Unity Event, the 2009 G-20 London Summit, IP Expo Europe and Summer in the City.

In 2011 ExCeL London was awarded the Business Superbrand,[13] and welcomed its 20 millionth visitor on 18 June 2014.[14] ExCeL has also been awarded ‘Venue of the Year’ on several occasions at various industry ceremonies.[15] In 2012, ExCeL hosted several events for the Olympics and Paralympics, and has since erected a «legacy wall» featuring the handprints of athletes who won Gold at the venue and the former Mayor of London Boris Johnson.

In 2014 ExCeL hosted the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict,[16] chaired by American actress and UN Special Envoy Angelina Jolie and attended by 79 ministers from 123 country delegations.

From 1 to 8 July 2019, 150 events took place as part of London Climate Action Week 2019.[17]

It was announced on 24 March 2020 that the centre was to be temporarily converted into the 4,000-bed NHS Nightingale Hospital as part of the response to the 2020 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Military engineers and contractors supported the erection of the facility, and army medics assisted the NHS nurses, doctors and other staff.[18] The Nightingale was opened on 3 April 2020 by Charles, Prince of Wales via videolink.[19]

Transport[edit]

ExCeL London is served by two Docklands Light Railway (DLR) stations, which span the full 600-metre length of the venue. The western entrance is directly linked to Custom House for ExCeL station, which serves the Platinum Suite and the event halls and is located next to the glass pyramid. Since 24 May 2022, the western entrance of ExCeL has been served by the Elizabeth line (known as the Crossrail project during construction), connecting the venue to central London in 12 minutes.[20]

The eastern entrance is connected to Prince Regent station. The eastern entrance serves the International Convention Centre (ICC at ExCeL), which was opened in 2010 by then-Mayor Boris Johnson and is London’s first and currently only ICC. During major shows with large visitor attendances, extra shuttle trains are run between the venue and Canning Town station, which connects with London Underground’s Jubilee line. Since June 2012, the Emirates Air Line cable car now links ExCeL to The O2 on the Greenwich Peninsula.

ExCeL London is also located near London City Airport station, which is linked by the DLR and a number of dual-carriageway roads which also provide onward access to the office and commercial district of Canary Wharf.

Sustainability and CSR[edit]

ExCeL London participates in the UN Global Compact Scheme,[21] the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative which invites companies to align with universal principles on human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. As part of this scheme, ExCeL hosts annual events to communication on progress addressing the issues of Human Rights, Labour, Environment and Anti-Corruption. Since joining the scheme in August 2007,[22] ExCeL has undertaken a series of initiatives to reduce energy usage, increase recycling efforts and increase transparency across the business, such as the introduction of a whistleblowing hotline in May 2015.[23]

ExCeL publishes details of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts publicly in the UN Global Compact report and on their website. Currently ExCeL invests in the local community of Newham by supporting select charities, chiefly Newham All Star Sports Academy (NASSA) and Community Food Enterprise (CFE).[24] ExCeL also provides space free of charge to local schools and sports teams, in addition to hosting an annual event called ‘ExCeL in the Arts’ for local children to attend. In 2016, ExCeL welcomed London celebrity chef, musician and entrepreneur Levi Roots, who in collaboration with a local food initiative organised a cooking class for local children[25]

A unique indoor/outdoor circuit, set in London’s ExCeL exhibition centre, brought electric racing back to the UK capital, though a year later than originally planned.

The debut of the Formula E London E-Prix had originally been intended as the finale of the 2019/20 season.  However, the coronavirus pandemic saw ExCeL repurposed as an NHS ‘Nightingale Hospital’, leaving the venue unavailable for racing.

The circuit duly made its debut in July 2021, with a lightly modified course from the original proposals being used for the double header event.  The London race is set to feature in successive seasons, with series organisers having signed a multi-year deal.


Circuit History


London had been without a Formula E race since the agreement to end racing at Battersea Park following the threat of court action by environmental groups.  After a search for a new location which lasted several years, championship organisers revealed in March 2019 that they had successfully concluded negotiations for the race to make the ExCeL exhibition centre its new home.  The multi-year deal would see the venue hosting the London E-Prix from the 2019-20 season onwards, with a double-header race set to round out the season.

Uniquely, the proposed 23-turn course would feature a design which took it inside the main building, before emerging outdoors to loop around the exterior past the Prince Regent Station and then briefly in front of the quay side of the Royal Victoria Docks.  Key features included a series of switchback hairpins and ramps to lead the track inside and out of the elevated main exhibition centre.

Coronavirus brings a half to plans

Formula E had scheduled the original dual header races to take place on 25 and 26 July 2020, however the coronavirus pandemic put paid to those plans.  On 24 March 2020, the ExCeL was announced as a temporary NHS hospital, containing up to 4000 beds and named NHS Nightingale, boosting the healthcare response to the pandemic for Londoners.  The new hospital was opened on 3 April 2020 by the Prince of Wales via video link, equipped with 500 intensive care beds. The first patients were admitted four days later.

In the event, NHS Nightingale London was only ever was required to treat a small number of patients, the last of which were discharged in May, after which the facility was been placed on standby by the NHS, ready to resume operations as and when needed.  The hospital reopened for recovering and non-COVID patients in January 2021, when another part of the site was also used as a vaccination centre.  By April 2021, the hospital had served its useful purpose, with the vaccination programme running well and hospitalisations from Covid-19 not reaching previous levels.  The hospital was finally decommissioned, meaning the ExCeL Centre could be released for conversion into a racing venue, with the E-Prix the first event at the centre since the pandemic began.

The E-Prix is back on, a year late

With the announcement that the race was finally on came the parallel news that the course had undergone some revisions in design from the original proposal.  The switchback double hairpin loop had been reversed (in the process mapping out a giant ‘e’ shape when viewed from above as a happy coincidence) and a tight chicane added immediately afterwards.  Further round the section through the car park behind the Prince Regent station was also much altered to make better use of the space.  A hairpin within this section included the attack mode activation zone.

An unintended consequence of the changes became apparent when the new layout was released to teams and trial laps were run on simulators. The amount of extra energy that drivers would have to re-generate during the race outside of braking zones was found to be massively reduced by the changes, with estimates putting it at around 5% compared the usual 35%.  With little energy regeneration required, the fear was that cars would be able to complete the races at unabated speed, leading to either a processional race or increasing the potential for a crash-fest as drivers made desperate lunges in a bid to overcome the difficulty in overtaking.  

With the race just over a week away, there was little that could be done the circuit itself, so championship organisers instead announced that there would be a 4kWh reduction in the energy available to each driver for the two London rounds.

Drivers face unique challenges

The part indoor, part outdoor course provides a number of challenges for the drivers.  The course features a wide variety of surface changes around the lap, leading to wildly different grip characteristics.  These are only exacerbated in inclement weather, since part of the course is completely dry while the rest is wet, though this is mitigated somewhat by the all-weather tyres used in Formula E.

Starting indoors, the start finish straight and first few corners feature silky-smooth Tarmac, which is specially laid on the exhibition hall’s floor and offers maximum grip.  However, on the cross over to the outdoor section the cars must navigate a strip of slippery metal, onto further asphalt and then a painted section and finally the highly abrasive Tarmac that surrounds the exhibition centre.

That shift from inside to out also poses a challenge for the drivers as they transition from an almost night-like state indoors to the bright light of the outside.  Fortunately the human eye works better than most onboard cameras!

The final challenge comes from the ramps that lead into and out of the main exhibition hall, forming steep declines and an energy-zapping incline to end the lap.
