Fact one: The venue is built on reclaimed marshland. That means it’s technically a swamp with a roof. The congestion zone would never accept a swamp.
Fact two: There’s a cable car nearby (the Emirates Air Line). You can fly over the zone-free zone. It’s like defeating the traffic through sheer altitude.
Funny detail: Locals call the area “The Arse End of the Docklands”. Respectfully. The last thing they want is more fees. No zone, no problem.
How to Get There Without Panicking
Take the Docklands Light Railway (DLR). Trains are driverless and feel like rollercoasters. Get off at Custom House station. It’s literally inside the venue. You can’t miss it.
By car? Don’t. Unless you enjoy paying ULEZ and parking fees that cost more than the ticket itself. Park at a Park & Ride in a nearby field. Your car will thank you.
