Digital Accountancy Show 2026: Why Mercure London Paddington Is Your Ultimate Place to Stay Near ExCeL London

Are you attending the Digital Accountancy Show (DAS 2026) at ExCeL London on 7th & 8th October 2026? As 7,000+ accounting professionals, fintech innovators, and finance leaders gather for two packed days of tech demos and networking, securing the right accommodation is critical to making the most of your trip.

While finding hotels near ExCeL is a top priority for delegates, staying directly around Royal Victoria Dock often comes with inflated event rates, limited dining options, and quiet evenings away from central London.

By choosing Mercure London Paddington Hotel, you get the best of both worlds: direct, fast Elizabeth Line transit straight to ExCeL London paired with a central London stay right on the doorstep of Hyde Park, Soho, and West End dining.
