Getting around

Travel by train, tube or bus

You’ll find Good Hotel London by the Western Gateway of the Royal Victoria Dock. The O2 Arena, ExCeL Exhibition Centre, City Airport and Canary Wharf Business District are all nearby. And we’re less than five minutes walk from the Royal Victoria station on the DLR light rail, Elizabeth line at Custom House station is 5 mins away, Jubilee Line at Canning Town is 12 mins away on foot, City Airport is 9 mins away by taxi and a 7-min Cable Car ride will bring you to The O2 and North Greenwich.

The quickest and most direct route to central London is via the Elizabeth line from Custom House station, which is just a 10-minute walk from the hotel.

Travel by car

If you’re driving, you can park at the ExCel parking centre. Prices range from about £15 - £30 per day. Motorcycles can park free in designated areas of the ExCel parking centre. Parking can be tricky in this city. You can download an app like Appy Parking or Parkopedia to help you find a spot. 

You can download the car park map here which shows you the location of the car parks on campus.

Travel by cable car

The Emirates Cable Car can take you across the Thames to North Greenwich tube station and the O2 Arena. A cabin comes along every 30 seconds and each journey takes about 10 minutes. At 90 metres high, it’s a great way to enjoy views of the whole city.

Travel by boat

Make the most of staying by the Thames and travel by boat. It’s a great way to see the capital’s most popular landmarks like Big Ben and the Tower of London. The MBNA Thames Clippers have the fastest and most frequent service, with departures from major London piers every 20 minutes.
