Is there car parking available at the Dock2Dock?

There is limited paid parking available near the event village (within 100m) but we strongly urge swimmers to use public transport where possible. 

If you require parking, this can be pre-booked on the JustPark app (postcode E16 2QT - Dockside Road Car Park)

The closest DLR station is Royal Albert which is approximately 400m from the event village.

Bicycle parking is available on the Dockside Road side of Royal Docks Watersports or alternatively, can be locked to the dock railings (away from the start and finish areas)

Dockside Road car park is best located for accessing the event village and pre-booking is available via the JustPark app.  

Parking in the area can get very busy if there are events on at Excel, so we suggest pre-booking earlier if you are planning on driving to the event.
