Alternative routes to EAG Expo if the tube strike goes ahead
On 1st & 3rd March there are likely to be no London Underground services due to strike action, but please don’t worry, EAG Expo is still going ahead and DLR services will not be affected. There are many transport options available to ExCeL London that don’t involve taking the tube and here are some suggested routes:
