Do you pay for parking at the Excel centre?
Also, have you gotta pay the congestion charge I presume?

I'd assume so. Like last year though I'll park my car at my nan's place in Wandsworth and take the underground from there. Its a right mission to drive anywhere near the Excel..

Yep that sounds sensible to me. Much better than trying to get any closer by car. When going into the denser, more central parts of london, public transport is the only real way.

Train sounds a joke - £122.00 return.
Which tube station do you go to? My uncle lives at East Finchley, I could leave the car there, get tube from Finchley station into Excel area?
Then it will cost me £40 fuel + £10 ticket + Tube + Food.

Yeah that sounds a lot better. 
I usually take Clapham junction station. Usually people drive as close in as they can and then underground it from there. East Finchley should be alright I think, although yo might have to make a couple changes(..?)

So get off at Clapham Junction for the show?
I don't mind a couple of changes, tbh the Underground is a good system and pretty easy to use.
