NoVacancy

It’s a yes to a vacancy if you’re visiting NoVacancy this Spring

Will you be in the Docklands for NoVacancy at the ExCeL, the new exhibition from Australia where everyone talks about filling hotel rooms and maximising bookings? Ironic name, really, considering you probably need somewhere to eat, drink, and possibly rest your weary exhibition feet.

Here's a secret: while they're all discussing no vacancy over there, we've got plenty of room right here at the Fox Connaught tavern.

Visit the Fox Connaught for a taste of the real Docklands

After a day of exploring the latest hotel tech, comparing property management systems, and nodding thoughtfully at revenue optimisation strategies, you need somewhere that just feels like a proper pub. No algorithms required.

We're just a stone's throw from the ExCeL (or a very gentle Thames-side stroll if you prefer), nestled in the heart of London's Docklands. This area has come a long way from its cargo-hauling days, though we like to think we're still serving up the good stuff, just in pint glasses rather than shipping containers.

What you’ll find at the Fox Connaught

Food & Drink: Whether you fancy traditional British fare or something lighter, we've got you covered. Our kitchen serves proper pub grub that doesn't require a QR code or an app to order. Our team is always on hand delivering personal service.

Rooms: We have comfortable rooms. No dynamic pricing surges, no minimum stay requirements during the conference. Just honest hospitality, ensuite bathrooms and a hearty breakfast.

Atmosphere: Unlike modern hotels, we offer character, locals as our regulars, and greatBritish (and European) beer.

Anddid we mention the FREE PARKING for all Connaught guests? Almost unheard of in the Docklands these days. Book your room today.

The Docklands difference

The beauty of being in Docklands is you get the best of both worlds. Step outside and you're surrounded by modern marvels, from Canary Wharf's gleaming towers, the ExCeL's impressive expanse, the cable cars overhead. Step inside our doors and you're in a cosy refuge that remembers when this was still a proper working waterfront.

So while you're learning about the future of hospitality at NoVacancy, why not experience a bit of its soul?
