Why ExCeL London Is the Perfect Venue
Located in London’s Docklands, ExCeL London is one of Europe’s premier exhibition centres. It’s easily accessible via the DLR and Elizabeth line, offers excellent facilities, and is surrounded by vibrant waterfront areas, restaurants, and bars.
Due to high demand during major conventions, ExCeL hotels and nearby accommodation often sell out quickly — so many visitors choose to stay slightly outside the Docklands while benefiting from quick, direct transport links.
A Smart Alternative: Stay at Mercure London Paddington
For visitors looking beyond Docklands accommodation, Mercure London Paddington Hotel is an excellent choice for MegaCon Live London 2026.

This makes Mercure London Paddington especially appealing for international visitors, cosplay groups, and weekend attendees who want flexibility and comfort.

Staying at Mercure London Paddington gives you fast and simple access to the venue:
- Elizabeth line from Paddington to Custom House (direct and quick)
- Minimal interchanges, ideal for carrying cosplay or shopping bags
