Excel as usual is a fantastically organised venue home of the World Travel Market. This year yet again it’s smooth operation has gone perfectly with around 50,000 visitors to this exhibition and some 4000 exhibitors. Always buzzing, excellent seminars and the who’s who of the travel world are all here. The only faults as everyone knows is that the DLR tends to get quite frantic! And the food served here isn’t always the best due to the large numbers here.

The Excel Centre sits in a weird bit of London. Why's it weird? Because it's like the area around it suffered from a very neat and tidy apocalypse. There seems to be around 10% of the normal number of people you usually see on the street and on the road. It's quite disconcerting, but not entirely unpleasant to not be able to see another single living human. Outside. In London. Anyway - I went down to the Excel to check out The Anarchy In The UK Roller Derby tournament. Which was fantastic. I'm at most London Rollergirls event, which are always ace - but to see London (who are a great team in the grand scheme of things) take on some of the best in the world was amazing. Plenty of carnage on the track, coupled with the general friendliness of everyone involved ensured a great weekend. Big kudos to Montreal New Skids, who are not only a great team, but amazingly entertaining - roller derby team dance routines are one of the best things ever. The Excel itself is exactly what you'd want from a venue. Lots of space, lots of facilities for all the people and reasonably priced food and drink on offer. Actually I was pretty impressed by the range of food the Excel had, bagel, Asian, pizza and more - not too shabby!

Attended World Travel Market here in November 2010 in the new ICC halls. Opened in July, they up the capacity of for Exhibitions and events by another 30,000 square feet. A new entrance on the Eastern side of the complex from Prince Regent DLR stop opens into a central concourse with glass roof. In the concourse there are many food retailers selling everything from pie and mash to sandwiches and sushi. The new halls are on either side of the main concourse and link through into the existing facilities and Platinum business suites.The design is very modern with white floors and red and yellow accents in the media suites etc.Great modern centre, the only thing that help it to lose a star is the price of the food - pretty exorbitant for the captive markets at trade shows. To be fair that is the case at most centres at Birmingham and Manchester too.
