London Excel Arena

[TEAK36]

Is the Excel Arena in Docklands the same venue as the Docklands Arena? I went to the docklands arena a few years ago and got the on Docklands Light Railway, but when I search on the net for docklands arena, I cant find it, I can only find the Excel Arena.

Not too sure but I saw the Excel Arena the other day from the DLR just before London City airport heading East on the left hand side. Maybe this helps?

Docklands is only about 10 miles from me as the crow flies, but I don't know. I just googled both tho and came up with these, so it looks like they are two seperate venues.

London Arena's been pulled down (I suppose that's what you mean by Docklands Arena?). ExCel isn't a concert venue but a vast barn used as an exhibition hall, like Earl's Court only bigger and easier to get around.
