Following my frustration at the DroidCon venue having no cycle facilities (tweet tweet), I was pleased to see that ExCel London (host of Nokia World 2011) do in theory have secure bike parking. It took a while to find this information, though. It seems to me that if enough conference attendees start bugging venues about the availability of cycling facilities, the situation will soon improve.
Note that the Nokia World event website specifically does not mention cycling as an option - something to take into account when you read the greenwashing on the Environment section of Nokia's website.
Here's a slightly-amended version of an email I just sent to ExCel London on the subject:
Dear ExCel London,
I am delighted to see that under the 'Green Credentials' section of your website you have a Transport page with information on cycling:
Cycling to ExCeL London?
We welcome those who choose to cycle to ExCeL and provide secure, CCTV monitored cycle parking racks both in our west entrance taxi drop off area and outside the main east entrance (subject to the area reopening in May 2010).
To plan an approved cycling route to the venue from your start point, please use this link for the Transport for London Cycle Journey Planner.
However, it would be even better if you added a 'By Bike' category to your general travel page, as this information is currently not immediately obvious to those wishing to travel to ExCel by bike.
You might also want to update the information on your website, as it currently refers to works happening to the main east entrance in May 2010.
Thanks,
Andrew.
