Cisco Live is returning to London for the first time in 14 years. Taking place from 8 to 12 February 2027 at ExCeL London, it will be one of the most significant technology conferences the capital has hosted in years, attracting around 21,000 IT and networking professionals from approximately 100 countries across five days of keynotes, technical sessions, hands-on labs, and one of the largest show floors in the European tech calendar.
For delegates travelling to London for the event, where you stay makes a difference to how the week feels.
Hotels Near ExCeL London for Cisco Live 2027
Tower Suites and Tower Residences by Blue Orchid Hospitality are located in Tower Hill and are very well connected to ExCeL London via the DLR, with Canary Wharf reachable in under ten minutes from Tower Gateway station and Custom House for ExCeL a short journey beyond that. Total journey time from Tower Hill to ExCeL is typically around 20 to 25 minutes with no changes required.
For a five-day conference, the suite format at Tower Suites makes practical sense. Fully equipped kitchens mean breakfast and evening meals on your own terms rather than restaurant dependency across a full working week (but don’t worry there is also delicious on-site Italian restaurant and the option of room service, so the choice is always yours). Generous living areas separate from the bedroom meaning somewhere to decompress, review notes, or take a late call without it all happening in the same corner of the room. High-speed wired and wireless internet throughout every suite handles back-to-back video calls and large file transfers without difficulty.
Tower Residences offers the same exceptional location with additional space - open-plan living and dining, full kitchen facilities, and room for colleagues travelling together who want independent living without sacrificing a central London base.
Getting from Tower Hill to ExCeL London
Take the DLR from Tower Gateway, just across the road from Tower Suites and travel directly to Custom House for ExCeL. The journey takes approximately 20 to 25 minutes and runs frequently throughout the day.
