About
London’s ExCel Center finally made its first appearance on the Formula E calendar in 2021. The London E-Prix in the east of the city will take place again at the end of July 2023.
London previously hosted the Formula E season finale in both the first and second seasons, with a race at the Battersea Park Street Circuit. The race was discontinued following protests from an environmental group.
In March 2019, it was revealed that the London E-Prix will return to the calendar for the 2019/2020 season with a race around the Royal Victoria Dock in East London. The unique 23-turn track runs in and around the ExCeL Arena, making it the first Formula E track to run both indoors and outdoors. The main straight and pit lane are housed within the ExCeL building.
The London E-Prix was set to be the final event of the season in 2020, but was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. Instead, the circuit’s inaugural double-header of races took place the following year. The event joined the calendar as part of a “multi-year agreement”.

Where to stay
Where to stay for the London E-Prix.
Several modern hotels are located next to the ExCel Centre, including Aloft London Excel and Prince Regent Hotel Excel London, though it will be extremely difficult to get a room in these hotels on race weekend.
The good news is that the Excel Centre is well connected to other parts of the English capital via the DLR and Underground, so you can stay in central London and get the most out of the city.
